A Comprehensive and Transportable Interactive Linear Algebra Text 

using Maple

          

I plan to work with Gene Herman (Grinnell), Jim King (U of W) and Mike 

Pepe (Seattle Central  CC) to extend existing linear algebra materials 

to a comprehensive class/lab package,  portable between the Windows, 

Macintosh, and XWindows/Motif unix environments, and  adaptable to 

learning environments on our three campuses.  It is our goal to 

enhance  graphics/visualization, "small group collaborative learning," 

"write-to-learn," and "sparsely- symbolic vector-matrix computation."  

The text will be in Maple and will utilize interfaces such  as 

MathKit/MathWright,  Scientific Workplace and the Word 6.0 Notebook 

front end for Matlab  4.2 and its Extended Symbolic ToolBox.
