Graphics for Linear Algebra
This is a very simple Maplet designed to aid the student with the visualization of rotation, scaling, and translation of objects. It could be used in a classroom demonstration. Whenever I am teaching Linear Algebra I find there is not enough time to cover the marvelous applications at the back of the "Elementary Linear Algebra" text by Anton and Rorres. I wrote this maplet with the hope of demonstrating the application to computer graphics in the classroom. It is very basic and rotates, scales, and translates simple polygons. I have found that students sometimes have difficulty with the visualization of such. Perhaps, other instructors have a similar dilemma. I hope it has some merit.
