First Maxima Project
Click here to download and install wxMaxima. Please make an appointment with me or go to the ARC if you have never used wxMaxima in a course at Manhattanville before.
I have created two short tutorials about the matrix commands in wxMaxima.  They are Matrix Operations and rowop.
Finally, the instructions for the first project.
This project is due at 11:59PM, Friday October 19 via email to me.
