Appendix E. Matrix Algebra in R

Many of the functions described in this book operate on matrices. The manipulation of matrices is built deeply into the R language. Table E.1 describes operators and functions that are particularly important for solving linear algebra problems. In the following table, A and B are matrices, x and b are vectors, and k is a scalar.
