The objective of this web page is to provide support for Mathematica users at UMass Lowell.
The real reason for this web page: I've been using Mathematica for about 15 years and it's finally time for me to try to organize my materials!

03/02/2006 Basic Linear Equations Notebooks This is a sequence of notebooks that shows the development of a function from a simple definition to one that has some more sophisticated features, ending in the definition contained in a package. The mathematics in these examples is very basic - simple linear equations from precalculus mathematics. more info |

03/02/2006 Greatest Common Divisors A basic property of the greatest common divisor, g, of two integers, a and b, is that there exist integers s and t such that g = a s + b t. ... and g is the least positive integer that can be expressed in such a linear combination. Isn't that neat how a "greatest" can also be a "least"? The Extended Euclidean Algorithm computes g, s and t efficiently. Mathematica has a built in function, |
