Thus, the computer component of a course using this textbook will not be a mere supplement rather, it is going to be the core of the whole experience. The significance of the CD and the justification of the above comment of the authors in fact become much clearer when one takes a look at the Table of Contents: Out of the forty-seven sections of the text, the thirty that are marked with a blue semidisk are exact text versions of the tutorials provided in the CD. Reading the Preface, one learns about the tutorials provided in this CD in the format of Maple worksheets and Mathematica notebooks these are to be the center of the student's learning process.
Actually, the book looks very much like any other linear algebra text, until you notice that inside the front cover is hidden a CD.
"Visual Linear Algebra is a new kind of textbook," the authors tell us in the Preface.
