The video tutorial by the Postcard Professor explains how to convert a system of equations into matrix form and solve it using matrix multiplication and inverse. It covers the rules of matrix multiplication, the process of finding the inverse of a matrix, and solving the equations. The tutorial emphasizes using computational tools like MATLAB and Python for these calculations.

What is the first step in converting a system of equations into matrix form?

• Identify the number of variables.

• Solve the equations directly.

• Convert equations into vectors.

• Use a computational tool.

Why do we convert equations into vectors?

• To use computational tools.

• To solve them faster.

• To ensure each element is equal.
