Chapter 8
Vectors
This Chapter provides examples of entering and operating with vectors, both mathematical vectors of many elements, as well as physical vectors of 2 and 3 components.
Entering vectors
In the calculator, vectors are represented by a sequence of numbers enclosed between brackets, and typically entered as row vectors. The brackets are generated in the calculator by the keystroke combination „Ô, associated with the *key. The following are examples of vectors in the calculator:
[3.5, 2.2, | A general row vector |
A | |
A | |
['t','t^2','SIN(t)'] | A vector of algebraics |
Typing vectors in the stack
With the calculator in ALG mode, a vector is typed into the stack by opening a set of brackets („Ô) and typing the components or elements of the vector separated by commas (‚í). The screen shots below show the entering of a numerical vector followed by an algebraic vector. The figure to the left shows the algebraic vector before pressing `. The figure to the right shows the calculator’s screen after entering the algebraic vector:
In RPN mode, you can enter a vector in the stack by opening a set of brackets and typing the vector components or elements separated by either commas
