Linear Algebra With Maple V (Brooks/Cole Symbolic Computation Series)

This book shows how to use the Maple computer algebra system for solving linear algebra problems. It is both accessible to the beginning student of linear algebra and useful for those who are familiar with the subject and want some computing power to work problems. Designed to be used interactively with the Maple program, this supplement is written so that it can be used without further reference materials. By giving students the ability to do computations easily, this supplement, in conjunction with Maple, can lead students to a greater understanding of the underlying theory. Not only are they free from worrying about the computations, but they also can experiment with matrices and algebraic structure in a much greater way than they could without a computational tool.
