Kalkules Matrix Calculator

Matrices are widely used in practice, mostly in fields such as computer science and engineering. They are a valuable tool for representing real world data, generating statistics and plotting graphs. Needless to say, it is mandatory for those who work in the aforementioned fields to know how to work with them, which requires a bit of knowledge and practice.

Fortunately, there are also dedicated calculators that can easily perform various operations, thus saving users a significant amount of time needed to solve them with the classic pen and paper. Aiming to aid students in verifying their own results, Kalkules Matrix Calculator is a Java-based application that allows users to perform basic to complex operations with matrices.

The application requires no installation and can be run on all the major platforms, which makes it quite versatile. It is practically a matrix calculator that allows working with matrices as operands, regardless of their size. In fact, users can specify the number of rows and columns for their first matrix within the main window, from simple drop-down menus.

Users can then easily populate the matrix with the desired values on each column or row. It is also possible to use the built-in matrix generator to populate the matrix cells with random values in a given interval.

The calculator can perform elementary operations, such as switching between two rows or two columns, multiplying a row or a column by a constant or adding a row (or column) multiplied by a constant to another row (or column).

With Kalkules Matrix Calculator, users can also perform basic operations, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing matrices by scalars (constants). Moreover, it can add, subtract or divide a matrix by another matrix and calculate the determinant of a matrix.

More complex operations are also available, as Kalkules Matrix Calculator enables users to generate the transposed matrix, the inverse matrix or the upper triangular matrix. It can perform Gaussian and Gauss-Jordan elimination.

Considering the above, one could say that Kalkules Matrix Calculator really comes in handy in the toolbox of any math or computer science student, as it allows them to quickly perform matrix arithmetic and elementary operations, and even solve systems of linear equation using matrices. It comes at no cost and it is cross-platform, which are both additional perks of the application.
