Basic Modeling

Mathematica provides a very convenient and natural way to create and manipulate continuous- and discrete-time models of scalar and multivariable systems using data objects. These objects contain all the information of a model, are freely convertible from one to another, can be readily passed from one function to another, and are typeset in the notebook interface in a traditional form, thus providing a very streamlined and efficient workflow. The representation of control systems in Mathematica makes full use of its unique symbolic architecture, providing closed-form answers where traditional systems are limited to numerical solutions. Numerical methods are implemented using modern high-performance and high-precision algorithms.
