ABSTRACT

Interactive applets for linear algebra have been developed at the University of Michigan Dearborn to help students not only develop basic skills (for example, learning to produce matrices which manipulate other matrices), but also explore more advanced topics (discovering eigenvectors using visual feedback, and viewing 3-d objects through their Singular Value spectral series expansion.)
