+## Linear Algebra and Custom Libraries in STACK
+
+**Speaker:  Luke Longworth**
+
+**Date:**  Wednesday 29 Apr 2026,   
+**Time:**  09.30 am BST (10.30 am CEST), the seminar will last for 1.5 hour   
+**Location:**  Online   
+
+In 2025 several libraries of custom maxima functions for linear algebra were included with the release of STACK 4.9.0.  In this talk we will see a selection of these functions and learn how to use them via the stack_include functionality, including some examples from second-year linear algebra at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. 
+
+We will also briefly discuss the process of contributing to STACK in this way. 
+This talk is targeted at STACK users who are already confident in writing questions and would like to expand the pool of useful functions at their disposal.
