State space feedback 5 - tutorial examples and use of MATLAB

Gives a few worked examples (2 state, 3 state and 4 state systems). Demonstrates the use of the 3 alternative design methods of: (i) canonical forms; (ii) state transformation and (iii) Ackermann. Moreover, emphasises the numerical demands of these approaches and shows MATLAB code for doing the computations (matrix algebra). Finishes with a summary of MATLAB shortcuts. Lectures aimed at engineering undergraduates. Presentation focuses on understanding key prinicples, processes and problem solving rather than mathematical rigour.
