'Dynamical systems' denotes roughly the study of phenomena that change with time. Such phenomena are to be found in many disciplines, and comprise population dynamics in biology, economic processes, pharmacodynamics, electrical circuits, chemical processes etc. etc. The approach will be of use to students or graduates in biology, biomedical sciences, psychology and other social sciences. Students of engineering may use it as a first introduction. In this book we will use the mathematics program Matlab and the related toolbox Simulink.

Produktbeschreibung
'Dynamical systems' denotes roughly the study of phenomena that change with time. Such phenomena are to be found in many disciplines, and comprise population dynamics in biology, economic processes, pharmacodynamics, electrical circuits, chemical processes etc. etc. The approach will be of use to students or graduates in biology, biomedical sciences, psychology and other social sciences. Students of engineering may use it as a first introduction. In this book we will use the mathematics program Matlab and the related toolbox Simulink. The starting level is at high-school level of mathematics (algebra, differential and integral calculus). Some Appendices are added to explain non-elementary mathematics. The approach is experimental: first a practical exercise is done in Simulink and only afterward the theory behind the problem will follow. The aims of the course are to get a working knowledge of Simulink, of dynamic systems theory, and of some more advanced functions of Matlab. Thesubjects include: linear systems, the concept of state; the Laplace transform, transfer functions; systems with feedback; system identification; non-linear systems, fixed points, limit cycles, chaos.
Autorenporträt
At Hof was trained in electrical and biomedical engineering at the University of Twente. He got his PhD at the Department of Medical Physics and then worked at the Center for Human Movement Sciences of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. His research included muscle models and models of balance during walking.
