Operations with matrices
Matrices, like other mathematical objects, can be added and subtracted.
They can be multiplied by a scalar, or among themselves. An important
operation for linear algebra applications is the inverse of a matrix. Details of
these operations are presented next.
To illustrate the operations we will create a number of matrices that we will
store in the following variables. Here are the matrices A22, B22, A23, B23,
A33 and B33:
In RPN mode, the steps to follow are:
{}
`
RAM 'A'
`K
{}
`
RAM ''
`K
{}`
RAM
'A'`K {}`
RAM
''`K
{}` RAM 'A'`K {}` RAM ''`K
{}
`
RAM 'A'
`K
{}
`
RAM ''
`K
Addition and subtraction
Four examples are shown below using the matrices stored above (ALG mode).
