WJD Open Notebook

This post collects some notes and teaching materials concerning the use of Python, Jython, and Sage for universal and linear algebra.

🔗 UACalc at the Jython Command Line

• The UACalc_CLI github repository has instructions for configuring your machine to support a command line interface (CLI) with the Universal Algebra Calculator (UACalc).

• This post gives an example showing how to exploit the Jython interface to the UACalc to study properties of large collections of algebraic structures.

🔗 Linear Algebra Labs in Sage

I created this set of four computer laboratory assignments to teach my students how to do linear algebra in Sage.

1. Lab 1 (Lab01.pdf)
2. Lab 2 (Lab02.pdf)
3. Lab 3 (Lab03.pdf)
4. Lab 4 (Lab04.pdf)

I assigned these to my undergraduate linear algebra class at Iowa State University in the spring of 2016.

Each lab was completed during one 50-minute class held in the computer lab in Carver Hall.
