Matrices

RREF

Reduced Row-Echelon Form. Changes a rectangular
matrix to its reduced row-echelon form.

RREF(matrix)

Example:

RREF

Create

Make

Creates a matrix of dimension rows × columns, using
expression to calculate each element. If expression
contains the variables I and J, then the calculation for each
element substitutes the current row number for I and the
current column number for J. You can also create a vector
by the number of elements (e) instead of the number of
rows and columns.

MAKEMAT(expression, rows, columns)

MAKEMAT

(

expression, elements

)

Examples:

MAKEMAT(0,3,3) returns a 3 × 3 zero matrix,
[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]].

MAKEMAT(√2,2,3) returns the 2 × 3 matrix
[[√2,√2,√2],[√2,√2,√2]].

MAKEMAT(I+J–1,2,3) returns the 2 × 3 matrix

[[1,2,3],[2,3,4]]
Note in the example above that each element is the
sum of the row number and column number minus 1.

MAKEMAT(√2,2) returns the 2-element vector
[√2,√2].

Identity

Identity matrix. Creates a square matrix of dimension
size × size whose diagonal elements are 1 and off-
diagonal elements are zero.
