| Title of Talk | Visualizing Linear Algebra with Geometer |
| Abstract | I will present Sketchpad labs for visualizing the following concepts in linear algebra: Linear transformations and image, range, kernel, and projection. The determinant of a matrix and the orientation-preserving or-reversing property of the corresponding linear transformation. The determinant a matrix to the area of the image of a unit area under the corresponding linear transformation. Eigenvectors and eigenvalues |
