2. Introduction

Advanced Numerical Methods implements a wide variety of state-of-the-art numerical algorithms for the analysis and design of linear control systems. Combined with Mathematica's extensive graphical capabilities and automatic arbitrary-precision control, Advanced Numerical Methods provides a superior environment for solving industrial and research control problems, thereby transferring technology to industries and computer-aided control education. This chapter gives a quick reference to the algorithms implemented in Advanced Numerical Methods. It then highlights the use of Advanced Numerical Methods's principal functions in the case study of an industrial control system.
