Using Calculation Modes Matrix Calculations (MATRIX)

Matrix Calculations (MATRIX)

Use the MATRIX Mode to perform calculations involving matrices of up to 3

rows by 3 columns. To perform a matrix calculation, you first assign data to
special matrix variables (MatA, MatB, MatC), and then use the variables in the
calculation as shown in the example below.

Example 1: To assign to MatA and to MatB, and then perform the

following calculations: × (MatA×MatB), +

(MatA+MatB)

1. Press (MATRIX) to enter the MATRIX Mode.

(1) "A" stands for "MatA".

3. Input the elements of MatA: 2 1 1 1 .

4. Perform the following key operation:
(MATRIX) (Data) (MatB) (2×2).
This will display the Matrix Editor for input of the elements of the 2 × 2
matrix you specified for MatB.
5. Input the elements of MatB: 2 1 1 2 .
6. Press to advance to the calculation screen, and perform the first
calculation (MatA×MatB):
(MATRIX) (MatA) (MATRIX) (MatB) .
This will display the MatAns screen with the calculation results.

(2) "Ans" stands for "MatAns".

Note: "MatAns" stands for "Matrix Answer Memory". See "Matrix Answer

Assigning and Editing Matrix

Variable Data
Important!

The following operations are not supported by the Matrix Editor: , (M-),
(STO). Pol, Rec, ÷R, and multi-statements also cannot be input with the Matrix Editor.

To assign new data to a matrix variable:

1. Press (MATRIX) (Dim), and then, on the menu that appears, select
the matrix variable to which you want to assign data.
2. On the next menu that appears, select dimension (m×n).
3. Use the Matrix Editor that appears to input the elements of the matrix.

To copy matrix variable (or MatAns) contents:

1. Use the Matrix Editor to display the matrix you want to copy.
If you want to copy MatA, for example, perform the following key
operation: (MATRIX) (Data) (MatA).
If you want to copy MatAns contents, perform the following to display the
MatAns screen: (MATRIX) (MatAns) .
2. Press (STO), and then perform one of the following key operations
to specify the copy destination: (MatA), (MatB), or (MatC).
This will display the Matrix Editor with the contents of the copy
destination.
