Example: To obtain the determinant of the matrix

1 –2
5 0

.

This example assumes that Mat C contains

1 –2
5 0

.

z – {MATRIX} 3(det)

A Transposing a Matrix

Transposing a matrix basically means to change its rows in to columns and its columns into
rows. Calculation is performed using the Trn( function as shown below.

Example: To transpose the matrix

1 2 3
4 5 6

.

This example assumes that Mat B contains

1 2 3
4 5 6

.

z – {MATRIX} 4(Trn)
