Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
-- Option variable: scalarmatrixp Default value: true
When scalarmatrixp is true, then whenever a 1 x 1 matrix is produced as a result of computing the dot product of matrices it is simplified to a scalar, namely the sole element of the matrix.
When scalarmatrixp is all, then all 1 x 1 matrices are simplified to scalars.
When scalarmatrixp is false, 1 x 1 matrices are not simplified to scalars.
(%o1) true (%i2)
