Abstract

A Personalized System of Instruction material on matrix applications in the social sciences was developed. The instructional material was divided into six modules which provided methods on how to solve problems in Economics, Management, Sociology, Psychology and other social sciences. The first module introduces matrix concepts and operations. The next module solves linear systems using elementary row operations with applications in market equilibrium and input-output analysis. The third module deals with optimization problems which uses determinant to test and to determine if a certain quantity has been optimized. Module four solves also optimization problems using simplex method. The last two modules, Markov analysis and game theory, combine the theory of matrices and probability wherein the former analyzes future events based on past and current events while the latter analyzes competitive phenomena.
