Dimensions
Before working with a matrix you have to choose the dimensions entering the
desired number of rows and columns. Default values are
3x
3, as in figure below.
Maximum values are
9x
9.
Transpose
If you have an
mx
n matrix the transpose is a new matrix
nx
m, same
values but inverted rows an columns.
Inverse
Inverse of a matrix doesn't always exist, the matrix must be invertible.
STO
Command STO stores the values of the current matrix. You can recall it with command RCL.
You can store only one matrix at time. It is useful if you want to multiply two matrices.
RCL
Recalls a previously stored matrix.
Linear Eq.
Solves a system of
n linear equations in
n unknowns. Set the
nx
n
dimensions, then fill the values of the coefficients. In the
n+1 column set the known values.
The equations have to be independent. The system is solved with Gauss substitution with partial pivoting.
It can solve up to 9 equations in 9 unknown where in the 10th column there are the known values.
Example:
+3x +2y -5z = -2
+1x -2y +4z = 5.3
-2x +2y -7z = -1
Results are displayed in the first column.
Multiply
Matrix multiplication is done rows x colums so pay attention to dimensions. If you want to
multiply matrix A and matrix B, set values for A, store with STO, enter values for matrix B
(must have as many rows as A's columns) and press multiply.
