Solving a system of equations

Another method is to store the result into a third matrix and then to view it through the Edit screen of the

MATRIX Catalog

. This is shown below.

Matrix

created left and

edited right.

Probably the most common functions that you will use are

INVERSE, DET

and

TRN

(transpose), so some

worked examples are included which use them.

There are also a number of further worked examples

involving matrices in the section at the back of the book.
