1. What is Matrix Calculator?

The Matrix Calculator performs various matrix operations like addition and multiplication. It takes two matrices as input and returns the result of the specified operation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator performs matrix operations based on the formula:

Where:

• Matrix A and Matrix B — Input matrices in array format
• Operation — Mathematical operation to perform (addition or multiplication)

Explanation: The calculator parses input matrices, validates dimensions, performs the selected operation, and returns the result matrix.

3. Importance of Matrix Operations

Details: Matrix operations are fundamental in linear algebra and have applications in computer graphics, physics simulations, data analysis, and machine learning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter matrices in comma-separated format (one row per line). Ensure matrices have compatible dimensions for the selected operation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What format should I use for matrix input?
A: Enter each row on a separate line, with values separated by commas (e.g., "1, 2, 3" on first line, "4, 5, 6" on second line).

Q2: What are the dimension requirements?
A: For addition, matrices must have identical dimensions. For multiplication, columns in Matrix A must equal rows in Matrix B.

Q3: Can I perform other matrix operations?
A: Currently, the calculator supports addition and multiplication. More operations may be added in future updates.

Q4: What if I get an error message?
A: Check that your matrices are properly formatted and have compatible dimensions for the selected operation.

Q5: Are there limitations to this calculator?
A: The calculator handles standard matrix operations but may not support very large matrices or advanced operations like determinant calculation.
