Linear algebra and equations

Abstract

Most readers know from graduate textbooks that linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with vector spaces, matrices, determinants, linear transformations, and systems of linear equations. This chapter explains how to put your hands on numeric packages for linear algebra. First of all, we will offer a description of Java classes designed to construct vectors and matrices. Then we will discuss the usual matrix operations. We will finish this chapter with a description of how to solve linear equations using the libraries provided by the DMelt project.
