Linear Algebra Toolkit
http://www.math.odu.edu/~bogacki/lat/
GRADE LEVEL: 9-12, Advanced

CONTENT:
The Linear Algebra Toolkit from Old Dominion University provides practice in basic linear algebra procedures.
AESTHETICS:
The content of this bare-bones site makes up for the lack of pizzazz.
ORGANIZATION:
Visitors can access the modules from the main page. Each internal page has a graphic link back to the main page.
REVIEW:
Teachers and students can use this site to reinforce concepts taught in the classroom. The site features an interactive row operation calculator that enables students to perform a sequence of elementary row operations. The modules cover such topics as transforming a matrix to row echelon form; solving a linear system of equations; calculating the determinant, using row operations; and linear independence and dependence. Students choose the size of the matrix and enter the elements, and the calculator performs the operations.
