Description:

Linear Algebra with Maple (R) uniquely addresses the quickly growing intersection between subject theory and numerical computation. Computer algebra systems such as Maple are becoming ever more powerful, useful, user friendly and readily available to the average student and professional, but thre are few books which currently cross this gap between linear algebra and Maple. This book introduces algebra topics which can only be taught with the help of computer algebra systems, and the authors include all of the commands required to solve complex and computationally challenging linear algebra problems using Maple. The book begins with an introduction to the commands and programming guidelines…
