Chapter 10
Creating and manipulating matrices
This chapter shows a number of examples aimed at creating matrices in the
calculator and demonstrating manipulation of matrix elements.

Definitions

A matrix is simply a rectangular array of objects (e.g., numbers, algebraics)
having a number of rows and columns. A matrix A having n rows and m
columns will have, therefore, n×m elements. A generic element of the matrix
is represented by the indexed variable a
j. With this notation we can write matrix A as A = [a
shown next:
A
A matrix is square if m = n. The transpose of a matrix is constructed by
swapping rows for columns and vice versa. Thus, the transpose of matrix A, is
