Matrix Calculator

Add, subtract, multiply matrices, and compute determinant and inverse.

Formula & Methodology

Matrix addition and subtraction are element-wise; multiplication uses the dot product of rows and columns; determinant and inverse follow standard rules.

Worked Example

Adding [[1,2],[3,4]] and [[5,6],[7,8]] gives [[6,8],[10,12]].

Frequently Asked Questions

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, determinant, and inverse for matrices of compatible dimensions.

When can two matrices be multiplied?

The number of columns in the first must equal the number of rows in the second.

Does every matrix have an inverse?
