Eigenvalue

This module uses Eigenvalue to help visualize a transformation

Basic files. These files are necessary if you want to develop your own module or to modify one of the existing modules using Eigenvalue. When these files are unzipped they will be placed in a new directory Eigenvalue_All. You should develop your own modules within the same directory. Your first step after unzipping this directory should be to double click the file transformations.html.

In the unlikely event that this does not work then try the file transformations_alternate.html. If you experience this difficulty then you will need to delete the code archive="Eigenvalue.jar" from the applet tags whenever you develop a module using Eigenvalue.

The User's Manual. This two page Microsoft Word document describes the features of Eigenvalue and how to use them.

This module uses Eigenvalue to look at a system of two linear equations in two unknowns visually.
