Abstract
Matrix operations are a problem solving tool in all branches of science and engineering. Matrices can be used in the calculation of primary stresses of a truss. The analysis of electronic circuits relies heavily on the use of matrices. Matrix algebra was used by Heisenberg in a parallel development of quantum mechanics: in fact the Schrödinger wave equation and the matrix mechanics of Heisenberg are mathematically equivalent.
