Matrix Operations on the TI-83+ and TI-84+

This video tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on using the TI-84 Plus and TI-83 Plus calculators for matrix operations. It covers entering and editing matrices, performing basic operations like addition and multiplication, and using advanced functions such as finding determinants and inverses. The tutorial also demonstrates solving systems of equations using matrices, both through direct multiplication and augmented matrices with reduced row echelon form (RREF).
