Here we list some ways to use the ti89 to do some linear algebra problems. See also the scilab.txt page for similar hints using the matlab clone scilab. Entering a matrix: (chapter 15 of the man) Exploring a matrix app 3 366 enters a random matrix RandSeed 0 randMat(3,3)->a modify an entry x->a[2,3] augments with the identity matrix augment(a, identity(3))->b row reduces produces [identity(3), a^-1] rref(b) Solve for x that kills the inverse solve(getDenom(2nd ans[1,4]=0,x) answer is x = -70/17 row reduce rref() 61, 366 random matrix randMat 366 page 389 implies eigVI(), eigVc() is available as well as QR and LU www.ticalc.org has lots of stuff use search key of matrix www.ti-89.org is another ti89 site google: ti89 eigenvector example www.rowan.edu/math/HASSEN/Mathematica/TI_89_for_linear_algebra.pdf http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ugrads/a/aorlando/ec.html
