Question: Symbolic matrix calculus in Maple

Sorry for the uninformative title. I've never used Maple, but I'm willing to buy a student license and learn it. But before spending too much effort and money I need to know if it suits my needs.

Basically what I need to do is:

1) I have a positive definite symmetric matrix of size nxn, where n can range from 2 to inf. I don't know the elements, except the fact that the diagonal has ones everywhere. All I know is that the elements out of the diagonal are in the range [0,1)

2) I have to compute the lower triangular cholesky decomposition of this matrix, lets call it L.

3) I need to subtract from each element of L the mean of the elements in the respective column. Lets call this matrix L*

4) Then I need to evaluate another nxn matrix computed from the elements of L* following a simple pattern.

5) Finally I need to find the eigenvalues of this last matrix.

What I would ideally want is to get a symbolic representation of the n eigenvalues as symbolic functions of the (unknown) elements of the matrix at point 1.

I can drop the assumption of n being unknown, i.e. fix n=3 and get the 3 functions that, after replacing the right values, give me the eigenvalues, then fix n=4 and get 4 functions, etc.

Is this possible to do in maple?

Thank you
