WP34s complex matrix functions
Message #1 Posted by Ed Wright on 28 Jan 2012, 9:42 p.m.

Does WP34s support determinant and inverse of matrices with complex elements? I know how to do it on the 42S, but not on the WP34s.

There is a very good reason you don't know how to do this: the 34S doesn't support complex matrices. Currently, this simply isn't possible -- there is no distinction between real numbers and complex numbers (unlike on the 42s and the RPL devices).

The trick used on the 15c is applicable however, although no special support is present to do the necessary conversions.
