Numeric Computations
You can very efficiently perform computations on large matrices and vectors
that contain floating-point data using the built-in library of numeric linear
algebra routines. Some of these routines are provided by the Numerical Al-
gorithms Group (NAG®). Maple also contains portions of the CLAPACK
and optimized ATLAS libraries.
For information on performing efficient numeric computations using the
LinearAlgebra package, refer to the ?EfficientLinearAlgebra help page.
See also Creating Matrices and Vectors for Large Problems (page 141).
Student LinearAlgebra Package
The Student package contains subpackages that help instructors teach con-
cepts and allow students to visualize and explore ideas. These subpackages
also contain computational commands.
