Notes on Maple linalg to accompany Anton and Rorres linalg text
Nov 94. Notes are for both 6th and 7th ed. of Anton and Rorres:
see % comments in antonControl.tex for some more details.

These notes have been written by G. Keady for a 2nd yr undergrad. class 
which in 1994 and in 1995 uses Maple 5r1 in the student computing lab
(as the machines do not have enough memory to run 5r2)
and which uses 6th ed. of Anton and Rorres.
The Maple code is sufficiently simple that version dedendencies,
Vr3 and earlier, occur in just 2 places:
define(linear(T)):   # Vr2
define(Linear(T)):   # Vr3  - antonLT
regression           # Vr2
fit[leastsquares]    # Vr3  - antonMO
(The flow on to 2nd year means that the 1996 2nd year will use
7th ed. Anton and Rorres.)
The notes can be customised by lecturers to needs at their own
Anton / Maple conditions: see Copyright Notice.

CO-AUTHORS ARE SOUGHT, PRINCIPALLY TO ENSURE THAT THE NOTES ARE
MAINTAINED THROUGH FUTURE EDITIONS OF THE TEXT AND FOR FUTURE
VERSIONS OF MAPLE. SEE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS SECTION LATER.


***********************************************************************
* REMEMBER THAT THESE NOTES ARE AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO A PARTICULAR TEXT.
* THEY ARE TOTALLY USELESS FOR CLASS USE IF THE CLASS IS NOT WORKING
* WITH THE TEXT THEY ACCOMPANY, FURTHERMORE IT VIOLATES THE COPYRIGHT
* TO USE THEM WITHOUT A COPY OF ANTON.
* The "philosophy" is that many of us find ourselves giving courses
* with the syllabus and texts already prescribed. Nevertheless we want
* Maple to appear a "natural" thing that mathematicians, engineers, etc.
* use when they have messy sums to do. Also, by using Maple a bit,
* students will acquire confidence, and motivation, to go on to learn
* more.
* The notes assume that the students have had some exposure to Maple
* in a calculus course. The students are not expected to have used
* Maple's linalg package before.

What  has been done to create the anton.tar.Z (and antonTransfer) file is
tar -cvhlf anton.tar *
compress anton.tar
(and in e-mail versions, not this directory
uuencode anton.tar.Z anton.tar.Z > antonTransfer  
)

After you have brought over the file anton.tar.Z (or antonTransfer)
to your local machine you should ( uudecode antonTransfer    then)
uncompress anton.tar.Z
tar -xvf anton.tar

After the
tar -xvf anton.tar
or whatever you call the file, the directory should look something like:
README		antoCon7.tex	anton2.tex	antonEV.tex	 antonNM6.mpl
README.email	anton.tar.Z	anton3QR.mpl	antonLT.mpl	 antonNM6.tex
anto1011.mpl	anton0.mpl	anton3QR.tex	antonLT.tex	 antonNM7.tex
anto1011.tex	anton0.tex	an6Index.tex	antonMO.mpl	 antonRef.tex
anto3IPS.mpl	anton1.mpl	an7Index.tex	antonMO.tex	 maple.sty
anto3IPS.tex	anton1.tex	antonDef.tex	antonNM.mpl
antoCon6.tex	anton2.mpl	antonEV.mpl	antonNM.tex

and the number of lines in the *.tex files (wc -l *.tex) is:
     262 anto1011.tex
    1039 anto3IPS.tex
      95 antoCon6.tex
      97 antoCon7.tex
     851 anton0.tex
     803 anton1.tex
     395 anton2.tex
     119 anton3QR.tex
      62 anton6Index.tex
      62 anton7Index.tex
      38 antonDef.tex
     787 antonEV.tex
     226 antonLT.tex
     928 antonMO.tex
     270 antonNM.tex
      83 antonNM6.tex
      84 antonNM7.tex
     106 antonRef.tex
    6307 total


When it looks as described in the README, decide if you want
the notes for 6th or for 7th ed. of AR.
latex antonControl6
will (done just twice) produce the notes for 6th ed. of AR;
latex antonControl7
will (done just twice) produce the notes for 7th ed. of AR.

(The whole document, when printed, should have an initial
xi  pages before Chpt 1, then switching to arabic numerals starts
at 1 and ends with 
References on page 59 for 6ed.,    (2 pages less for 7 ed.),
Index on page 60 for 6ed.,         (2 pages less for 7 ed.),
then Table_of_Contents (which I usually don't print in student
versions).
Thus 70/68 pages for 6/7 ed. resp. in total.)

(CAUTION. The notes have been written for printing on A4 paper.
Small changes might improve appearance on US letter size.)


The test files *.mpl contain the Maple from each chapter and
are ready to be read into Maple in the usual way, e.g. in maple
> read(`anton0.mpl`);



KNOWN ERRORS. Date July 94. None known.


POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS. 
* Harmonise with forthcoming book 
Bauldry, Evans and Johnson "Linear algebra with Maple" (Wiley 94?).
Add references to BEJ.
Develop LaTeX notes in ways which distinguish them from BEJ,
probably by aiming for a more "Engineering Maths" orientation
to the LaTeX notes.
-> OF THE LaTeX DOCUMENT
* If there is sufficient interest it might suit Wiley to publicise
an improved version of these notes. To this end, they might
consider a possible printed "Instructors' Version". 
* A version with tidier Maple using Maple Vr3 Worksheet to LaTeX
facilities should be prepared. Maple output would look better.
E-mail keady@maths.uwa.edu.au for details of progress on this.
* It is expected that the LaTeX document will evolve 
(i) to become closer to A&R (fewer examples not in A&R), 
(ii) to be provided with an "Index of Maple linalg functions",
(iii) to remove refs to older editions of AR when classes should no
longer be using them,
(iv) to be adapted in ways which will keep Wiley publishers content
with continuing distribution,
(v) to develop a style with substantial Maple Worksheet sections
which could be provided stand-alone to students, and fewer
short code fragments.
-> OF MAPLE RELATED TO APPLICATIONS CHAPTER
* There is  Maple 4.3 code for several of the items in the final
Applications Chapter of A&R. It is separately e-mailable, e-mailed from
keady@maths.uwa.edu.au,
to people who want to join in tidying it to the stage where we would be
happy for it to be a part of a set of Maple Worksheets on the
Maple Share Library.


*********************************************************************
HISTORY. Possibly slightly significant for copyright related matters
         but otherwise unimportant.

1985	UWA joins Australasian Universities Mac consortium. From then on
	there is no shortage of computers for the students (though for CA it
	is often a battle to get enough RAM on computers.)
1986	Curtin University Perth gets Maple on VAX.
1987	Maple 4.0 available for Mac. Good, but no graphics.
1988	GK runs lunchtime classes for staff, and gets approval to use
	Maple with a 2nd year Eng. Maths class starting Feb 89.
1989	Maple 4.2.1 for Mac. Has 2d graphics.
	UWA Maths buys unlimited site licence for Maple on Mac.
	Postgrad students in Mech. and Civil Engineering use it
	enthusiastically, which I think helps undergrad. class accept it.
Feb 1989 Curtin, Murdoch and UWA all start using Maple in large-class
	teaching. Share notes, esp. Carminati's notes from Murdoch
1991	Prepare first handout for class on Maple and linalg, with some
	references to Anton's text. 
	Used 2nd semester 1991 2nd yr service teaching.
	Student project work on items in final applications section
	of AR praised by Herb Brown of N.Y. State University.
	Lin alg part unbundled from calculus part, ready for 
	Feb 92 2nd year Eng. Maths use.
1991	Maple Vr1 for Mac. Has 3d graphics.
Jan 92 Correspondence with Anton. 
	Anton's letter of 27 Jan is encouraging.
1992	First Anton accompaniment used with 2nd yr eng. class
Jul 92	run "CA in WA" workshop. Rod James from Uni of NSW likes what I
	did and adapts my accompaniment to one to go with text by
	R.O. Hill. LaTeX. Also available by anonymous ftp.
July92-Jun93  CA job at Oxford.
Dec 92 GK an invited speaker at British "Computers-in-Teaching: Maths"
	Workshop: "Maple - its scope in teaching" Birmingham
Mar 93 Met Tony Scott, editor of Maple Newsletter, in Oxford.
	Scott adapts an item from 1991 Anton projects to
	wheatsto.ms now on Share Library.
May 93 Met Mike Monagan who runs Maple Share Library at CA conference in
	Helsinki. Mike would be happy for the LaTeX accompaniments to
	linalg texts to be posted on Maple Share Library.
Jul 93	Return to UWA. Prepare LaTeX version of Anton accompaniment.
	Work and enthusiasm for project waxes and wanes depending on
	probable likelihood of 	Anton continuing as text at UWA.
1993	Maple Vr2 for Mac. Pretty maths output, but needs more memory
	than UWA has in student lab.
Nov 93 First LaTeX version of Anton accompaniment circulated, incl. to
	Anton and to Wiley.
	Post to maple_group looking for co-authors. Some interest.
	Iacob Somme in Norway only actual user of the Anton accompaniment 
	at present as a consequence of the Nov 93 posting.
Feb 94 Class use of 94 version at UWA in 2nd year Eng Maths streams.
        LaTeX for 7th ed. added.
16 June 1994 Permission from Wiley to post to Share Library.
Jul 94  Tested with Maple Vr3
2nd semester 94. Possible class use of GK's Anton accompaniment at 
	VUW(NZ) and at Monash-Gippsland.
1994	Maple Vr3, with Worksheet2TeX facilities comparable with
	Mathematica's NoteBook2TeX. Still to be incorporated in
        this document.
1994    Bauldry, Evans and Johnson book in Wiley. (Still to arrive
        at UWA.)
