Lesson 34: Linear Algebra

The HP 48 includes a number of useful linear algebra commands
in (die MTH MATRIX command menu. You will find commands

for

finding the determinant, inverse, transpose, rank, trace,

spectral

radius and norm, condition number, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of a
matrix. Additionally, you can compute the reduced row echelon form

of a matrix and decompose appropriate matrices using any of several

different decompositions (LU, LQ, QR, Schur, and single-value).

While you should

consult

the
