Introduction
The Control Design Module (CDM) is a complete library of classical and 
modern control design functions that provides a flexible, intuitive control 
design framework. 
This chapter starts with an outline of the manual and some user notes. It 
also contains a tutorial that presents several problems and uses a variety of 
approaches to obtain solutions. The tutorial is designed to familiarize you 
with many of the functions in this module.
Using This Manual
This manual provides an overview of different aspects of linear systems 
analysis, describes the Xmath Control Design function library, and gives 
examples of how you can use Xmath to solve problems rapidly. It also 
explains how you can represent and analyze linear systems in Xmath and 
provides a brief syntax listing and supplementary algorithm information for 
each CDM function. Detailed descriptions of function inputs, outputs, and 
behavior are provided in the Xmath Help.
Document Organization
This manual includes the following chapters:
Chapter 1, Introduction, starts with an outline of the manual and some 
user notes. It also contains a tutorial that presents several problems and 
uses a variety of approaches to obtain solutions. The tutorial is 
designed to familiarize you with many of the functions in this module.
Chapter 2, 
, describes the types of linear 
systems that can be represented within Xmath. In addition, it discusses 
the implementation of systems as objects–data structures 
encompassing different information fields. The Xmath functions for 
creating a system or extracting its components are part of the general 
Xmath package and not exclusive to the Control Design Module, but 
they are used so extensively that they warrant a detailed treatment here. 
This chapter also discusses the functions you can use to check for
