Abstract
Computers are widely used for the purpose of education along with the developing technology as in every field. Students can learn and understand theoretical information individually with computer tools such as lectures, animations, solved/unsolved examples, simulations, interactive simulators, online support. In this study, a new software tool has been designed which contains many methods for stability analysis in discrete-time systems and is not available in the literature/application. By using this computer tool, which includes eleven stability analysis methods, related lectures, interactive analysis and application (exercise) simulators; it is aimed that students learn and understand the knowledge in the related field in a simple and easy way on their own.
