Controls Education on the Www: Using Matlab for Control Design, Simulation and Visualization

The rapid growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) has given educators unprecedented opportunities to provide information to students not only within their own classes, but also around the world. We are developing software which uses the WWW to distribute tutorials to students studying control systems. These tutorials provide students with information from diverse sources in a useful form when and where they need it. Animations are included so students can simulate the control systems which they design and can visualize their results on a physical system model.
