Document Summary
System analysis is the basic engineering problem solving concept that goes through. Def: models of physical system behaviour with mathematical expression. Deal with a problem in it"s entirety by considering it"s interrelationships simultaneously. Bridge b/w high powered mathematics/computers with engineering problems. Expressed as in terms of symbols and mathematical expressions. Def: representation of a real system virtually or mathematically to understand "what is" so that the. Studies sensitivity of system performance to changes in the design parameters or operating procedure. Coming up with a relationship b/w the inputs and outputs, and observe outputs over many realization of inputs. Def: the procedure of selecting the set of decision variables which maximize/minimize the objective function subject to the systems constraints. Involves finding an input to a function that makes it as small (as large) as possible subject to. Involves finding an input to a function that makes it as small (as large) as possible subject to some constraints.
