Couverture de l’ouvrage Linear algebra
(Herman, Pepe, Moore, and King) Organized into a collection of 29 extensive (and intensive) modules, which must be used in conjunction with Maple 6. Each module is divided into an interactive Tutorial followed by a rich and substantial collection of problems, designed to help students develop their geometric intuition and deepen their understanding of linear algebra concepts and methods. These modules support both individual work and interactive collaboration.
Can be used as a supplement in a traditional lecture course, or in a lab-only format.

  • Goals of the Project:
  • The main goals of the project are:
    1. To help students develop their geometric intuition about the concepts of linear algebra,
    2. To deepen students understanding of the algebraic formulation of these concepts and to strengthen their ability to manipulate concepts,
    3. To help students gain an appreciation of how the concepts and methods of linear algebra are applied.


    Structure of the Modules

  • Each module is divided into two main parts, the Tutorial and the Problems:
    The Tutorial is further divided into sections and consists of an interlaced text (usually brief), examples and demonstrations, and exercises (with answers provided in closed sections).
    The Problems are all intended to be fairly
