Chapter 5

Matrices and linear algebra

The HP 49G has extensive capabilities for entering and manipulating

anrays. An array object can be a vector or matrix.

Many of the matrix operations described in this chapter also apply to

vectors. Wherever this is the case, the more general term array is used

instead of m ati'ix.

By default, Matrix Writer will interpret a one-row array as a vector rather

than as a matrix. If you want a one-row array interpreted as an array, press

VEC

first.

For instructions on how to create an ainay—and how to open an array in
Matrix Writer—see chapter 8 of the User’s Guide.
