Frequently asked questions
What is Matrix Calculator?
Add, subtract and multiply matrices, scale, transpose, and find the determinant and inverse of A.
When would I actually use this?
Checking a decomposition done by hand, solving a linear system, and finding the eigenvalues that describe how a transformation stretches space.
What is the most common mistake?
Inverting a matrix to solve a system. Elimination or a factorisation is both faster and far more stable numerically; an explicit inverse amplifies rounding error, especially when the matrix is close to singular.
How is Matrix Calculator different from Matrix Power Calculator (Aⁿ, n from −10 to 20)?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Matrix Power Calculator (Aⁿ, n from −10 to 20) is the one to open when you need it to raise a 1×1 to 5×5 matrix to any power from −10 to 20 in exact fractions: A⁰ = I, binary exponentiation for positive n, the exact inverse for negative n, and an honest det(A) = 0 when no inverse exists. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Matrix Rank Calculator is the closest one after this: The rank of a matrix by row reduction — the number of linearly independent rows.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Matrix Trace Calculator and Adjacency matrix calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
The decompositions follow their textbook definitions with partial pivoting where it applies. Results are exact for small integer matrices and subject to floating-point rounding otherwise.
