In this webinar, we will explore how MATLAB and Simulink can be used to teach system dynamics, with a focus on modeling and simulation. The webinar will address:

• Modeling and analysis of dynamic systems
• Using simulation to validate theory and test hypotheses
• Questioning and confirming simulation results
• Focusing on fundamental principles rather than specific equations
• Performing what-if studies and extensions

About the Presenter:
Jerry Brusher is a Technical Evangelist with MathWorks. He has several years of teaching experience in the area of dynamic systems and controls, as well as nearly 20 years of computer-aided engineering experience in the automotive and aerospace industries. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and BS and MS degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, all in Mechanical Engineering.
