    This text addresses a combination of system dynamics and responses, mechanical vibrations, mechanical and electrical systems, rigid body dynamics, and feedback control. Covered are free and forced, undamped and damped responses, in both the frequency and time domain with an emphasis on linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, including time- and Laplace-solutions of the governing ordinary differential equations. First-, second-, and fourth-order systems are addressed.
