(See, for example, Harman et al. "AEM with Matlab", PWS 1997.) Several universities, mine included, get eng. maths classes where the students are using different maths packages. For these some non- software-specific title, like O'Neil "AEM" is OK, *BUT* we need labs in several packages. I WOULD LIKE YOUR APPROVAL TO PRODUCE A SET OF MATLAB LABS EXACTLY PARALLELING THE Maple/Mathematica LABS IN THE 1995 LAUREL TECH.SERVICES ACCOMPANIMENT. Labs 1,2,3 and 5 can be inspected from http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~keady/Teaching/ONeilAEM.html Regards, Grant Keady, http://maths.uwa.edu.au/~keady Dept of Mathematics and Statistics, e-mail:keady@maths.uwa.edu.au University of Western Australia, phone : (+ 61) (8) 9380 3372 Crawley, 6009, AUSTRALIA fax : (+ 61) (8) 9380 1028
