this is more of a numerical analysis question..so I am not sure where to post it..(also put it up in the computers forum)


im wondering, I've seen examples of ill conditioned matrices with small determinants...but what would be an example of a well conditioned matrix with a very small determinant?

I've deleted your other posts and issued you a 1-point warning for posting multiple copies of the same question. Do no multiple-post. That is not allowed here on the Physics Forums (PF), or on any other forum system that I'm aware of. I'll leave this one thread here, since it seems like the best match so far for your question.
 
oh sorry! i must have overlooked that in the rules :(

but..the good news is i finally figured one out! so forget this question
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
