Linear Algebra: An Introduction Using Maple uses a matrix-based presentation and covers the standard topics any mathematician will need to understand linear algebra while using Maple. Development of analytical and computational skills is emphasized, and worked examples provide step-by-step methods for solving basic problems using Maple. The subject's rich pertinence to problem solving across disciplines is illustrated with applications in engineering, the natural sciences, computer animation, and statistics.
