Linear Algebra Appendix C      Students use the axiomatic
structure to prove results about matrices and vector spaces.
Students use graphing calculators or a computer algebra system
to calculate determinants and solutions to linear systems of
equations. *  Facilitating the building of student conceptual
and procedural understanding.  Students show understanding of
linear algebra from algebraic and geometric perspectives.
Students show procedural understanding by performing
computations with linear systems and show conceptual
understanding by using properties of those procedures to solve
problems about linear systems.*  Helping all students build
understanding of the discipline including:  . Confidence in
their abilities to utilize mathematical knowledge.  . Awareness
of the usefulness of mathematics.  . The economic implications
of fine mathematical preparation.  Students integrate their
knowledge from previous courses in Algebra with the new matrix
and vector space techniques they are learning, and generaliz
