N2  - This book provides an integrated approach to linear algebra and ordinary differential equations based on computers-in this case, the software package MATLAB. [The authors] beleive that computers can improve the conceptual understanding of mathematics, not just enable the completion of complicated calculations. [The authors] use computers in two ways : In linear algebra computers reduce the drudgery of calculations and enable students to focus on concepts and methods, while in differential equations computers display phase portraits graphically and enable students to focus on the qualitative information embodied in solution rather than just on developing formulas for solutions. - Preface
