Physicians routinely recommend a high-fiber diet that is full of roughage, or insoluble fiber, in order to keep things moving along. While this can be helpful, in some cases a high-fiber diet may actually promote intestinal infection. High-fiber diets are also high-residue diets.
The MATRIX program is designed to perform and to teach row operation algorithms on matrices. The program can work in a decimal floating-point mode in which calculations are carried out to 18 significant digits, or it can work in a fraction mode with exact rational arithmetic.
Defining MatricesÂ¶. Defining a matrix is similar to defining a vector (Introduction to Vectors in Matlab). To define a matrix, you can treat it like a column of row vectors (note that the spaces are required!): >> A = [ 1 2 3; 3 4 5; 6 7 8] A = 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8.
