u  Matrix Arithmetic Operations   [OPTN]  -  [MAT]  -  [Mat]/[Identity] 
  Example 1  To add the following two matrices (Matrix A + Matrix B):
        K2(MAT) 1(Mat) av(A) + 
        1(Mat) al(B) w
  Example 2  To multiply the two matrices in Example 1 (Matrix A ×  Matrix B)
        K2(MAT) 1(Mat) av(A) * 
        1(Mat) al(B) w
  • The two matrices must have the same dimensions in order to be added or subtracted. An 
error occurs if you try to add or subtract matrices of different dimensions.
  • For multiplication (Matrix 1 ×  Matrix 2), the number of columns in Matrix 1 must match the 
number of rows in Matrix 2. Otherwise, an error occurs. 
u  Determinant   [OPTN]  -  [MAT]  -  [Det] 
  Example  Obtain the determinant for the following matrix:
        Matrix A =  
 1 2 3
 4 5 6
−1 −2 0
        K2(MAT) 3(Det) 1(Mat) 
        av(A) w
  • Determinants can be obtained only for square matrices (same number of rows and columns). 
Trying to obtain a determinant for a matrix that is not square produces an error.
