Demos

  • INTERACTIVE DEMO (with voiceover explanation) on Matrix Multiplication, A = LU, and PA = LU

    •          Interactive demo (uses Flash Player)

  • EIGENVALUE DEMOS (with sound!) (use Flash Player)

    •          2x2 Eigenvectors   This 3-minute demo shows eigenvectors of 2 by 2 matrices
