Linearity in Systems Analysis

The video tutorial covers the concepts of linear and nonlinear systems, focusing on the principle of superposition, which includes the laws of additivity and homogeneity. It provides examples and problems to determine system linearity, emphasizing time scaling as a key factor in linear systems. The tutorial concludes with a homework problem for further practice.
