This book introduces the concept of physical system modeling using MATLAB through a hands-on, lab-based approach. Readers are guided step by step to model a variety of engaging physical systems, applying multiple techniques such as differential equations, state-space representations, and frequency-domain analysis. Throughout the book, carefully designed questions encourage readers to think critically and develop an intuitive understanding of signals and systems. Complete solutions are provided to help verify results, reinforce learning, and support readers in successfully modeling the systems presented.
