The subject of system dynamics deals with mathematical modeling and analysis of devices and
processes for the purpose of understanding their time-dependent behavior. It emphasizes
applications containing multiple types of components and processes such as electromechanical
devices, electrohydraulic devices, and fluid-thermal processes. Because systems of interconnected
elements often require a control system to work properly, control system design is a major
application area in system dynamics. System Dynamics covers these topics, has application case
studies, more homework problems than other texts, and the strongest treatment of computational
software and system simulation, with its early introduction of MATLAB® and Simulink®.
