Learning Simulink(Matlab) would help me build systems

[schnitzer]

Hello...
I am an electrical engineering student & currently taking some system & signals courses... I was wondering if learning Simulink(Matlab) would help me build systems to process & control signals... maybe applying what am studying on simulink!...
And if so... can u please recommend a book or some pdfs that i can read to get started ??...

Thanks a lot

I've found simuling extremely useful for modeling control systems. Along with the controls toolbox, analysis of systems becomes a breeze.

Simulink, like all MATLAB toolboxes, has an excellent built-in help function. I'd recommend looking at that if you need to learn how to do something. If you still don't know how to do something from there, ask in the forums. The people on the mathworks forums are very friendly and helpful.

Hope that helps.

Hello Schnitzer,

Learning Simulink (Matlab) can definitely help you build systems to process and control signals. Simulink is a powerful tool for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems. It allows you to visually design and simulate systems using block diagrams, making it easier to understand and implement complex systems. With Simulink, you can also apply your theoretical knowledge from your system and signals courses to real-world applications.

As for recommendations, I would suggest starting with the official MathWorks documentation for Simulink. They have tutorials, examples, and resources to help you get started. You can also check out online courses or YouTube tutorials for a more hands-on learning experience. Some popular books on Simulink are "Getting Started with Simulink" by MathWorks and "Simulink for Engineers" by Otis Walton.

I wish you all the best in your learning journey with Simulink and building systems. Keep exploring and practicing, and you will see the benefits of using this powerful tool in your future projects. Good luck!
