Books by Michael A. (American University Gray

Requiring no prior programming experience, this book shows how to use the powerful tool of Simulink® to investigate and form intuitions about the behavior of dynamical systems. Step by step, the author presents the basics of building a simulation in Simulink. He also offers overviews of some advanced topics, including the simulation of chaotic dynamics and partial differential equations. Written in an informal, accessible style, the text includes many diagrams, graphics, and exercises. It also draws on numerous examples from the science, engineering, and technology fields. Ancillary materials are available on the author's website.

Teaches students how to model and explore the dynamics of systems. This book shows how to use the powerful tool of Simulink to investigate and form intuitions about the behavior of dynamical systems. It covers ordinary differential equations, numerical integration algorithms, and time-step simulation.
