The hands-on lab manual offers a comprehensive approach to linear algebra, featuring exercises that blend traditional problems with technology and Mathematica® visualizations. Students engage with the material through practical applications, allowing them to explore both the theory and real-world uses of linear algebra effectively. The inclusion of Mathematica CDFs enhances the learning experience, making complex concepts more accessible and interactive.
Designed as a practical lab manual, this resource facilitates daily classroom exploration of linear algebra theory and applications. Each lab offers clear explanations of concepts paired with integrated exercises, allowing for both individual use and sequential learning. This hands-on approach encourages students to actively engage with the material, enhancing their understanding through practical application.
This text is meant to be a hands-on lab manual that can be used in class every day to guide the exploration of the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus. For the most part, labs can be used individually or in a sequence. Each lab consists of an explanation of material with integrated exercises. Some labs are split into multiple subsections and thus exercises are separated by those subsections. The exercise sections integrate problems, technology, Mathematica R visualization, and Mathematica CDFs that allow students to discover the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus in a meaningful and memorable way. Employs Mathematica to calculate and explore concepts and theories of calculus Uses engaging labs to inspire learning Includes many applications to a variety of fields that can promote research projects User-friendly approach that can be used for classroom work or independent exploratory learning
