\vfill \Large\bf Linear Algebra in SAGE: Tutorial \vfill \begin{enumerate} \item Matrices: \begin{enumerate} \item {\tt matrix} command, {\tt random\_matrix} command, via a {\tt MatrixSpace} \item Compute the following associated to $A$: kernel, inverse (if invertible), characteristic polynomial, eigenspaces (and understand the output), the product $A A$, echelon form, Hessenberg form, determinant. \item Create matrices form given rows or columns of $A$. Make $A$ immutable. \end{enumerate} \item Vector spaces: \begin{enumerate} \item Choose a field $k$. Create the $4$-dimensional vector space $V = k^4$ over $k$. \item Create two three-dimensional subspaces $W_1$ and $W_2$ of $V$. \item Compute the intersection of $W_1$ and $W_2$. Compute their sum. \item Express an element of $W_1 \cap W_2$ in terms of the basis for $W_1$ (using the coordinates method). \item Do the above 3 steps with $k$ replaced by $\Z$. \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate}
