How to use this calculator

The starter squares a diagonal matrix. Select a cell to change its value; use the matrix controls to change its shape.

Tap the math below to edit it and see the result. Once a result is ready, press Tab on a hardware keyboard to accept it. Outside a matrix, Return completes the line; the phone math keyboard has the same Return action.

What to know

Matrix products require compatible dimensions; squaring requires a square matrix.

Mathlean combines visual mathematical input with computation and canvas tools. Results depend on the expression and available engine support; check important answers independently.
