Linear System Demo

I've uploaded a demo illustrating various techniques for working with linear systems in Matlab. The techniques include

• linearization of a nonlinear model, 
• comparing the impulse and step responses of the linear and nonlinear systems, 
• comparison of linear simulation and use of the matrix exponential
• finding key points in the impulse and step responses,
• illustration of frequency response and various methods of computation 

You can see the output from the demo from the link on under Supplementary materials, or download the Matlab code and work with it directly. There are some suggested exercises on the last page. You may want to give these a try, and let me know if you have any questions.
