1. PC with a minimum of 20 MB and a minimum of 8 RAMS
2. Windows 3.x, 95, 98, 2000 or NT 4.0
3. MapleV (Release 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7)

Platforms

• Windows: All modules of the software run under Windows 2000, 98, 95, 3.x, NT4.0 and XP

Note for Windows 98 or higher: Before installing ILAT, please backup the file mcicda.drv from your windows/system directory (if it is in the directory). After installation, copy the file back into the windows/system directory.
•  If you are running MapleV release 5.1, you need to change the content of the Maplev.txt in the ilat root directory. If ILAT is installed in the c drive, then go to the ilat root directory and choose the file Maplev.txt.The content of this file must be changed to read: c:\progra~1\maplev~1.1\bin.wnt\wmaple.exe
• If you are running Maple6, you need to do the following after installing ILAT. First, you need to change the content of the Maplev.txt in the ilat directory. If ILAT is installed, say, in the c drive, then go to ILAT root directory and choose the file Maplev.txt. The content of this file should then be changed to read: c:\progra~1\maple6~1\bin.wnt\wmaple.exe.  Second, for all releases of Maple prior to Maple6, when installing ILAT, the installation program will create a maple.ini file in the Lib directory of MapleV. For Maple6, the following must be done. Move the file from the lib folder and place it in the user folder. The maple.ini file in the user folder should read: libname:=libname,`c:\\ilat\\lib`: (provided that you choose to install ilat in the c drive; otherwise, change the drive accordingly). Make sure that the lib folder of maple does not include this file.
• If you are running Maple 7, you need to do the following after installing ILAT. First, you need to change the content of the Maplev.txt in the ilat directory. If ILAT is installed, say, in the c drive, then go to ILAT root directory and choose the file Maplev.txt. The content of this file should then be changed to read: c:\progra~1\maple7~1\bin.wnt\maplew.exe.  In case the installation program does not create the file, you can do so by just creating a text file using notepad with the content of the file being c:\progra~1\maple7~1\bin.wnt\maplew.exe if this is the path of the maple executable. Again in case the installation program does not create the maplev.txt file, you can do this by clicking on the ilat icon and a window will pop up that request you to find the maple executable. Upon doing so, the file will be created and you can run ILAT. This can also be achieved if when you click In Maple7, when installing ILAT, the installation program will create a maple.ini file in the Lib directory of Maple7 where it is supposed to be. Therefore, there is no change here like in Maple6.
• If you are running Maple 8, you need to do the following after installing ILAT. First, you need to change the content of the Maplev.txt in the ilat directory. If ILAT is installed, say, in the c drive, then go to ILAT root directory and choose the file Maplev.txt. The content of this file should then be changed to read: c:\progra~1\maple8~1\bin.wnt\maplew8.exe.  In case the installation program does not create the file, you can do so by just creating a text file using notepad with the content of the file being c:\progra~1\maple8~1\bin.wnt\maplew8.exe if this is the path of the maple executable. Again in case the installation program does not create the maplev.txt file, you can do this by clicking on the ilat icon and a window will pop up that request you to find the maple executable. Upon doing so, the file will be created and you can run ILAT. In Maple8, when installing ILAT, the installation program will create a maple.ini file in the Lib directory of Maple8 where it is supposed to be. If this does not happen, then you need to create using notepad such a file. The file name is maple.ini and its context should read: libname:=libname,`c:\\ilat\\lib`:. Place this file in the lib folder of Maple 8.

• MAC: The GUI will not work but all Maple worksheets will work.

1. Create a folder in the Hard Disk and call it ILAT
2. Copy the directory Ilat3cd, Ilat4cd or ilat5cd (depending upon the MapleV release 3, 4 or 5) the following subdirectories: Lessons, Labs, Projects, and Lib. Place these into the ILAT folder that you created in the Hard Disk
3. Create a text file (using any text editor) call the file MapleInit. The content of this file must be: libname:=libname,"Hard Disk:ilat:lib": This file must be placed in the Maple folder
4. To run the worksheets: Open Maple. Then go to file select open and then choose from the ilat folder

either Lessons, Labs or Projects and open the file you select. Here is the file structure that we adopt
There are six units:
The Lessons subdirectory includes the list of all lessons, proofs of facts and solution to exercises.
To select a lesson for the proper unit, here is the scheme we followed:
for unit 1 (Systems of Linear Equations) the  5 lessons are: linsys1.mws...linsys5.mws
for unit 2 (matrix Algebra) the 7 lessons are: linmat1.mws...linmat7.mws
for unit3 (Linear Spaces) the 6 lessons are:  linsp1.mws…linsp6.mws
for unit 4 (Inner Product Spaces), the 4 lessons are: linpdt1.mws..linpdt4.mws
for unit 5 (Linear Transformations), the 5 lessons are: lintran1.mws...lintran5.mws
for unit 6 (Eigenspaces), the 5 lessons are: lineign1.mws....lineign5.mws

The Labs subdirectory includes the list of all labs.
To select a lab for the proper unit, here is the scheme we followed:
for unit 1 (Systems of Linear Equations) the  2 labs are: lab1p1.mws and lab1p2.mws
for unit 2 (matrix Algebra) the 2 labs are: lab2p1.mws and lab2p2.mws
for unit3 (Linear Spaces) the 3 labs are:  lab3p1.mws, lab3p2.mws, and lab3p3.mws
for unit 4 (Inner Product Spaces), the 2 labs are: lab4p1.mws and lab4p2.mws
for unit 5 (Linear Transformations), the 2 labs are: lab5p1.mws and lab5p2.mws
for unit 6 (Eigenspaces), the 2 labs are: lab6p1.mws and lab6p2.mws
 

The Projects subdirectory includes the list of all projects.
To select a project for the proper unit, here is the scheme we followed:
For unit 1 (Systems of Linear Equations) the 2 projects are: lsyspro1.mws and lsyspro2.mws
for unit 2 (matrix Algebra) the 3 projects are: malpro1.mws, malpro2.mws, and malpro3.mws
for unit3 (Linear Spaces) the 2 projects are:  linspro1.mws and linspro2.mws
for unit 4 (Inner Product Spaces), the 2 projects are lnpdpro1.mws and lnpdpro2.mws
for unit 5 (Linear Transformations), the 2 projects are ltproj1.mws and ltproj2.mws
for unit 6 (Eigenspaces), the 4 projects are: lneipro1.mws, lneipro2.mws, lneipro3.mws, and lneipro4.mws
 
 

• UNIX: The GUI will not work but all Maple worksheets will work

1. Create a directory in the your user home and call it ILAT
2. When you open the CD, copy from the directory Ilat4cd or ilat5cd (depending upon the MapleV release 4 or 5) the following subdirectories: Lessons, Labs, Projects, and Lib. Place these into the ILAT directory
3. Create a text file (using any text editor) call the file .mapleinit . The content of this file must be: libname:=libname,"/path/ilat/lib": This file must be placed in the user home directory. For a system wide initialization file, place a file called init in the /maple/lib directory.
