Matrix notation and large portions of the theory of matrix algebra are used in many areas of the theory of statistics. This being the case, it is certainly natural to expect that matrix algebra system for statistical analysis developed for microcomputers. The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss the matrix algebra system M.
M is an interactive program to help you with your matrix algebra useful for statistics. This allows you to solve many numerical matrix problems in a fraction of time it would take to write a program in a language like BASIC or C. M is a system whose data element is a matrix that does not require dimensioning. Therefore the user language of M has a very simple structure for matrix computation.
