R Graphics or Control Systems Engineering

R Graphics

Author: Paul Murrell

R is revolutionizing the world of statistical computing. Powerful, flexible, and best of all free, R is now the program of choice for tens of thousands of statisticians. Destined to become an instant classic, R Graphics presents the first complete, authoritative exposition on the R graphical system. Paul Murrell, widely known as the leading expert on R graphics, has developed an in-depth resource that takes nothing for granted and helps both neophyte and seasoned users master the intricacies of R graphics. After an introductory overview of R graphics facilities, the presentation first focuses on the traditional graphics system, showing how to work the traditional functions, describing functions that are available to produce complete plots, and how to customize the details of plots. The second part of the book describes the grid graphics system - a system unique to R and much more powerful than the traditional system. The author, who was integral in the development of the grid system, shows, starting from a blank page, how it can be used to produce graphical scenes. He also describes how to develop new graphical functions that are easy for others to use and build on. Appendices contain a brief introduction to the R system in general and discuss how the traditional and grid graphics systems can be combined. Much of the information presented in this book cannot be found anywhere else. Well ahead of the curve, particularly regarding the grid system, R Graphics will have a major impact on the future direction of statistical graphics development.

Control Systems Engineering

Author: Norman S Nis

The real world awaits you. This book prepares you.

From rockets to robots, control systems play a major role in today's technology. You'll find them in applications in nearly every field--electrical, mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, and chemical engineering. Control systems engineering is a real-world discipline, and you need a text that prepares you to design for that real world.

Control Systems Engineering, now in its Fifth Edition, takes a practical approach to control systems engineering. Presenting clear and complete explanations, the text shows you how to analyze and design feedback control systems that support today's modern technology.

By working with the same physical system in each chapter, the book's progressive case studies give you a realistic view of each stage of the control design process while a combination of qualitative and quantitative explanations provide insight into the design of parameters and system configurations. Best of all, you'll get extensive practice in using MATLAB, Simulink, and the SISO Design Tool--industry standards that you will use in your future career.

You'll find this Fifth Edition especially valuable for these features:
* Case studies that use the same system progressively, chapter after chapter, to show the analysis and design process with clarity are presented.
* Helpful skill-assessment exercises, numerous in-chapter examples, review questions, and problems.
* Tutorials on the latest versions of MATLAB, the Control System Toolbox, Simulink(r), the Symbolic Math Toolbox, and MATLAB's graphical user interface (GUI) tools.
* "What if" experiments that expand your knowledge and skills.
*Companion Web site with computer programs for use with MATLAB, additional appendices, and complete solutions to skill-assessment exercises.
* Illustrations from the book available at wiley.com/college/nise
