9780126801408: Linear Algebra. An Introduction Using Maple

Synopsis

Linear Algebra: An Introduction Using Maple is designed to provide a positive and fruitful experience during a first encounter with linear algebra. Mathematical ideas are presented as a store, built on the solution of linear systems. Gaussian elimination and the singular value decomposition serve as motivating themes. Maple provides students with frequent opportunities to engage in modest forms of research, enabling individuals or groups to work on meaningful projects. The author's narrative presentation is enriched by the interactive use of Maple. Programming and computational complexity are kept to a minimum. Szabo uses Maple's symbolic and numerical calculation capabilities to distinguish between exact and approximate solutions of mathematical problems. Linear Algebra: An Introduction Using Maple provides a uniquely concrete foundation for the fundamental issue of linear algebra: solving linear systems.

Fred E. Szabo is professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Concordia University in Canada. He completed his undergraduate studies at Oxford University under the guidance of Sir Michael Dummett and received a Ph.D. in mathematics from McGill University under the supervision of Joachim Lambek. After postdoctoral studies at Oxford University and visiting professorships at several European universities, he returned to Concordia University as a faculty member and dean of graduate studies. For more than twenty years, he developed methods for the teaching of mathematics with technology. In 2012 he was honored at the annual Wolfram Technology Conference for his work on "A New Kind of Learning" with a Wolfram Innovator Award. He is currently professor and Provost Fellow at Concordia University.
