4.3 Linear Algebra
Linear algebra operations act on Matrix and Vector data structures.
You can perform many linear algebra operations using task templates. In the
Task Browser (Tools>Tasks>Browse), expand the Linear Algebra folder.
Creating Matrices and Vectors
You can easily define matrices using the Matrix palette. To define vectors,
use the angle-bracket (<>) notation.
Creating Matrices
To create a matrix, use the Matrix palette. See Figure 4.2.
