to help with matrix row operations, finding the inverse of a matrix
using row operations, determining if a set of vectors spans a certain
subspace, finding bases, etc.
- online help
with matrix calculations such as solving a matrix equation, finding
rank of a matrix, inverse of a matrix, matrix multiplication,
finding eigenvectors, finding eigenvalues.
- For those of you interested in applications
of linear algebra, you could surf the web, or consult this website
for items to read or this other
website.
- Mathematician
considered ``best'' career!
Even if you don't want to be a mathematician, you might consider a
Math Minor; ask your academic advisor.
