Interactive Linear Algebra with Maple V, w. CD-ROM - A Complete Software Package for doing Linear Algebra

A complete software package consisting of the printed book and a CD-ROM (with diskettes available on request). The interactive text includes: A graphical user interface for easy navigation through the text along with animations that explain linear algebra concepts geometrically. Interactive lessons with emphasis on experimentation and conjecturing. A collection of labs which strengthens the learning of the concepts. Applications which stress modelling and the use of linear algebra in various disciplines. A unique library of interactive "high-level" functions written in Maple V that can be used in different modes. A stand alone testing system. The authors believe that students of mathematics should enjoy, understand, assimilate, and apply the skills and concepts they study, and, as such, here they play a fundamental and active role throughout the learning process.
