A key feature of the revision is the incorporation of MATLAB throughout the text, with an emphasis on the ideas behind the computation and the interpretation of the results. The user-friendly approach to linear systems is intended to strike a balance between theory and applications. The text is aimed at undergraduate students of linear systems and multivariable system design.

    It ties MATLAB to the teaching of physical applications of signals and systems in a laboratory setting, which Stonick is the first instructor in the country to accomplish.

    By presenting divergent methods and views of people who have achieved some measure of success in their field, the book encourages readers to develop their own approach to design. In addition, the essays and anecdotes give some constructive guidance in areas not usually covered in engineering courses, such as marketing and career development.
