14.1 MAT Operator

This preﬁx operator is used to represent \(n\times m\) matrices. mat has \(n\) arguments interpreted as rows of the matrix, each of which is a list of \(m\) expressions representing elements in that row. For example, the matrix

\[ \left ( \begin {array}{lcr} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \end {array} \right ) \]

would be written as mat((a,b,c),(d,e,f)).

Note that the single column matrix

\[ \left ( \begin {array}{c} x \\ y \end {array} \right ) \]

becomes mat((x),(y)). The inside parentheses are required to distinguish it from the single row matrix

\[ \left ( \begin {array}{lr} x & y \end {array} \right ) \]

that would be written as mat((x,y)).
