1. Familiarization with MATLAB software; Control systems tool box; (Use help and
demo command).
2. Practice of basic matrix operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication,
inverse, transpose etc.
3. Practice of basic commands for (i) finding roots of a polynomial, (ii) finding poles
and zeros of a transfer function, (iii) step response of a transfer function, (iv)

order system.
4. Familiarization with MATLAB programming; Create your own directory and save
your m-files in your directory. Change the working directory to work with your
m-files. File name be chosen as prob_(sheet no)_(problem no)_(sub problem no);
