The HatrixWriter

The HP 48’s MatrixWriter application provides you with

extensive capabilities for entering and manipulating arrays (both
one-dimensional matrices and two-dimensional matrices).

How the HP 48 Displays Arrays

The stack displays arrays as numbers within nested

L J

delimiters. A

pair of C

J

delimiters enclose the entire array, and additional pairs

enclose each row within the matrix. For example, here’s a 3 x 3
matrix as it might appear on the stack:

Vectors (also called column vectors or one-column matrices) appear on
the stack as numbers within a single level of [ ] delimiters:

C 2 4 6 8 ]

Row vectors (one-rote matrices) appear on the stack as numbers

within tvjo pairs of [ j delimiters:

In addition, the current coordinate mode and angle mode affect
how 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional vectors are displayed. See

“Displaying 2D and 3D Vectors” on page 13-1 for details.
