Working with Matrices

Maple makes it easy to create matrices and work with them.  To create a matrix, simply open the Matrix palette and choose from a number of options, or use constructor syntax, or the Matrix function.  For some examples:  link to Create a Matrix

There are simple symbols for the common matrix operations, such as add, subtract, multiply, invert, and transpose.  For some examples:  link to Basic Matrix Operations

These operations may also be made using commands in the Student Linear Algebra package, which also provides many easy to use commands for more complex matrix operations.  More information on using this package
