Matrix and Linear Algebra Calculators
This category presents calculators describing matrix operations and linear relationships. Each tool provides numerical outputs for transformations, system structures, matrix properties and other algebraic behaviour across vector spaces.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Calculator
A square matrix can stretch or compress space in specific directions that each have their own scaling value.
Example use: describing how a repeated shuffle of four numbered cards tends to settle into a consistent pattern of movement.
Inputs: four entries describing a two-by-two matrix
Outputs: first eigenvalue, first eigenvector, second eigenvalue, second eigenvector, frobenius norm, definiteness
Visual: shows the two eigenvectors as straight directions extending from the origin
-
Inverse Matrix Calculator
A square matrix has an inverse whenever its transformation can be fully reversed without losing information.
Example use: undoing a set of number changes applied during a puzzle where each step mixes several values together.
Inputs: matrix size and all matrix entries
Outputs: inverse matrix, determinant, trace of the inverse, condition number, verification error
Visual: shows a colour-based layout indicating the relative size of each entry in the inverse matrix
-
Matrix Multiplication Calculator
Combining two matrices produces a new matrix whose entries reflect how each row interacts with each column.
Example use: working out the combined effect of two separate number-mixing steps in a board game.
Inputs: number of rows and columns for both matrices, all matrix entries
Outputs: result matrix, transpose of the result, frobenius norm, result size
Visual: no visual provided

Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF) Calculator
A matrix can be simplified step by step until each leading entry stands alone and the structure of the solution set becomes clear.
Example use: simplifying a small set of number rules to see whether they can all be satisfied at once.
Inputs: number of rows, number of columns, all matrix entries
Outputs: matrix rank, nullity, pivot positions, basis for the column space, free variables, system consistency, final rref matrix
Visual: no visual provided
Matrix and Linear Algebra Calculators FAQs
Eigenvalues are numerical values that describe how a matrix scales a vector during a transformation. They indicate the factor by which certain vectors are stretched or compressed.
A matrix can be inverted when it is square and has a non-zero determinant. This indicates that its rows and columns are independent and that a unique inverse exists.
Matrix multiplication combines rows from one matrix with columns from another to produce a new matrix. The result describes the combined effect of the two transformations.
