You can use many of the math functions on the TI-82 STATS
keyboard, the
MATH menu, the MATH NUM menu, and the MATH
TEST
menu with matrices. However, the dimensions must be
appropriate. Each of the functions below creates a new matrix; the
original matrix remains the same.
To add (Ã) or subtract (¹) matrices, the dimensions must be
the same. The answer is a matrix in which the elements are the
sum or difference of the individual corresponding elements.
