Peer reviewedEhrlich, Amos – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
The suggested program is designed for mathematics teachers. It concerns the solution of systems of linear equations, but it does not complete the job on its own. The user is the solver while the computer is merely a computing assistant. (MNS)
