Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about matrices

What is a matrix?

A matrix is a rectangular table of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Matrix operations (addition, multiplication, determinant) are fundamental in linear algebra, 3D graphics, machine learning and solving systems of linear equations.

What is the determinant of a matrix?

The determinant is a scalar value associated with a square matrix. If det(A) ≠ 0, the matrix is invertible. The det of a 2×2: ad-bc. For a 3×3 use Sarrus rule or cofactor expansion.

Why is matrix multiplication not commutative?

A×B ≠ B×A in general, because the row×column product changes result based on order. Matrix addition is commutative (A+B = B+A). This property is fundamental in physics (3D rotations) and computer graphics.

Which operations are available?

Addition, subtraction, the product of two matrices and the determinant of a single one. The result updates as soon as a coefficient changes, so you can watch what each edit does to the answer.

Why can two matrices not always be added?

Addition and subtraction need matrices of the same size, because they work element by element. The product has a different rule: the columns of the first must match the rows of the second.

Why is the product not commutative?

Because each entry of the result comes from a row of the first matrix meeting a column of the second. Swapping the order pairs different rows and columns, so A times B and B times A are generally different matrices.

Does my data stay private?

Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.

Do you store what I enter?

No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.

Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?

We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.

If it is free, how do you make money?

From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
