Interactive Tools to Learn Basic Concepts of Nonlinear Systems Linearization Through a Case Study*

An on-going project is being developed to obtain a suite of interactive learning objects composed by graphical interactive applications plus simple learning cards to cover the complete contents of an introductory control system course. This paper deals with one set of interactive tools belonging to that suite devoted to facilitate the learning of concepts related to linearization and control of nonlinear systems (from nonlinear physical models to linear models) using a tank system as case study.
