A new perspective on teaching the natural exponential to engineering students (2021)
Journal Article
Ullah, M., Aman, M. N., Wolkenhauer, O., & Iqbal, J. (2021). A new perspective on teaching the natural exponential to engineering students. International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, https://doi.org/10.1080/0020739X.2021.1896812

The natural exponential and logarithm are typically introduced to undergraduate engineering students in a calculus course using the notion of limits. We here present an approach to introduce the natural exponential/logarithm through a novel interpret... Read More about A new perspective on teaching the natural exponential to engineering students.

Nonlinear adaptive backstepping control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (2021)
Journal Article
Ali, N., Alam, W., Pervaiz, M., & Iqbal, J. (2021). Nonlinear adaptive backstepping control of permanent magnet synchronous motor. Revue Roumaine des Sciences Techniques : Série Électrotechnique et Énergétique, 66(1), 9-14

This paper addresses the speed tracking problem of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) under the influence of parametric uncertainties and external load torque disturbances. The nonlinear dynamics associated with both PMSM and load is conside... Read More about Nonlinear adaptive backstepping control of permanent magnet synchronous motor.
