Mastering Mathcad: Matrix Operations Made Easy | Step-by-Step Guide

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using Mathcad for summing the rows and columns of a matrix. The user is encountering issues where the summation only applies to the last row and column of the matrix. They are using a summation command with indices defined for rows and columns. A key point mentioned is that in Mathcad 2000, arrays start at index 0, which may affect the calculations. The thread highlights the need for clarification on properly implementing matrix summation in Mathcad.

Hello I am trying to teach myself how to use mathcad and am having some issues.

I am trying to sum the rows and cols of a matrix respectively.

using i for the row index and j for the col index.

I have as of now defined a variable sum eiether row or colum and am using a summation of k=0 to n-1 rows for each matrix. I see that what I am intending on doing is being preformed but only on the last row and col of an n-by-m matrix.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the summation command.

In Mathcad 2000 at least, arrays start at 0 by default, not 1.

Well out of date, but resurrecting old threads is sometimes fun!
