Using MATLAB to encourage formation of conjectures by students. (English) Zbl 0818.15001
Lewis, John G. (ed.), Applied linear algebra. Proceedings of the 5th SIAM conference, held in Snowbird, UT, USA, June 15-18, 1994. Philadelphia, PA: SIAM. 538-542 (1994).
The authors examines the use of MATLAB as a matrix laboratory. It is shown how to formulate conjectures about basic matrix functions and about some basic theorems in matrix theory utilizing a variety of random matrix generators to produce large sets of structured, random matrices, and by employing simple test functions that call these generators.
