How to use
Choose solve, det, inverse, multiply, or transpose
Solve needs A and rhs b. Multiply needs square A and B of the same order.
Read x, y (and z) or the matrix
Open /workspace/matrix to keep a local matrix scenario.

Frequently asked questions
Key distinctions behind the calculation.
Is this a computer-algebra system?
No. It is small real matrices (order ≤ 4).
Where is the workspace?
/workspace/matrix uses this same engine. Calculator URLs stay /calc/math/linear-system.
