Section 12: Calculating with Matrices 179

Keystroke(s) Results

O < Designates matrix specified in X-register as result matrix.

´U Row and column numbers in R0 and R1 are automatically incremented each time Oor l {Athrough E, %} is pressed.

Inverts matrix specified in X-register. Stores in result

 

matrix. Use ´∕ if User mode is on.

+, -

If matrix descriptors specified in both X- and Y-

 

registers, adds or subtracts corresponding elements of

 

matrices specified. If matrix descriptor specified in only

 

one of these registers, performs addition or subtraction

 

with all elements in specified matrix and scalar in other

 

register. Stores in result matrix.

*

If matrix descriptors specified in both X- and Y-

 

registers, calculates product of specified matrices (as

 

YX). If matrix specified in only one of these registers,

 

multiplies all elements in specified matrix by scalar in

 

other register. Stores in result matrix.

÷

If matrix descriptors specified in both X- and Y-

 

registers, multiplies inverse of matrix specified in X-

 

register with matrix specified in Y-register. If matrix

 

specified in only Y-register, divides all elements of

 

specified matrix by scalar in other register. If matrix

 

specified in only X-register, multiplies each element of

 

inverse of specified matrix by scalar in other register.

 

Stores in result matrix.

The HP-15C Advanced Functions Handbook presents more detailed and technical aspects of the matrix functions in the HP-15C, including applications. The topics include: least-squares calculations, solving nonlinear equations, ill-conditioned and singular matrices, accuracy considerations, iterative refinement, and creating the identity matrix.
