Perform matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, scalar multiplication, transpose, and determinant calculations. Supports matrices up to 4×4.
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Matrix operations — addition, multiplication, transposition, and determinant calculation — are fundamental in linear algebra, computer graphics, physics, and engineering.
Formula
det([[a,b],[c,d]]) = ad − bca, b, c, d = elements of a 2×2 matrix
det = determinant — a scalar value encoding scale and orientation
Worked Example
Multiply [[1,2],[3,4]] × [[5,6],[7,8]]
Did you know? Matrix multiplication is the backbone of modern computer graphics — every 3D transformation (rotation, scaling, translation) is performed by multiplying vertex coordinates by 4×4 transformation matrices, billions of times per second in GPUs (source: Khronos Group / OpenGL specification).
