Back Cover Copy


This book, intended for the sophomore junior level, presents both continuous- and discrete-time linear systems and signals. Divided into three major parts:

• Frequency-domain approach to linear dynamic systems and signals
• Time-domain approach to linear dynamic systems
• Linear systems and signals approach to electrical engineering (digital signal processing, communications, electrical circuits, and control systems)

Key Features:

• Flexible organization
• All linear system concepts are introduced in the frequency domain and then interpreted in the time domain
• Requires only elementary knowledge of linear algebra and differential equations
• Detailed coverage of the frequency domain transforms
• Detailed coverage of the convolution concept
• Detailed coverage of the state-space technique
• Self-study guide on linear dynamics systems and signals provides the foundation for other junior-senior courses in engineering (electrical, computer, biomedical, mechanical, and aerospace)
• MATLAB laboratory experiments after each chapter
• Numerous real-world examples from diverse areas of engineering: electrical, mechanical, biomedical, aerospace, industrial, computer networks and economics
• Companion Web site contains all MATLAB programs and numerical data for examples, problems, and MATLAB-oriented laboratory experiments

About The Author


Zoran Gajic. Professor Zoran Gajic has been teaching linear systems, controls, and networking courses in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers University, New Jersey since 1984. He is the author or coauthor of more than fifty journal papers, primarily published in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and IFAC Automatica journals, and seven books in the fields of linear and bilinear control systems published by Academic Press, Prentice Hall International, Marcel Dekker, and Springer Verlag. Professor Gajic has delivered two plenary lectures at international conferences and presented almost 100 conference papers. He serves on the editorial board of the journal Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete, and Impulsive Systems, and has been a guest editor of a special issue of that journal, on control systems technology. Professor Gajic received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Belgrade, and the M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in Systems Science Engineering from Michigan State University. He is a life master of the U.S. Chess Federation and a master of the World Chess Federation.
