I'm still a newcomer, studying matrices which I've never had.
I have the following equation:
m = {{11, 1}, {0, -6}};
MatrixForm {m}
I get this result:
{{{11 MatrixForm, MatrixForm}, {0, -6 MatrixForm}}}
Where did the 1 go? This is a 2x2 matrix which I wish to multiply a vector with. I assume (right or wrong?) that I use the dot operator. However, without the 1, I do not get the correct result. And I don't understand why the function name shows up. I know the detail shows it should use a list, I'm assuming (right or wrong again?) that using the variable name would suffice.
I've gone over the tutorial many many times to no avail. Am I using the function MatrixForm incorrectly?
Obviously, I'm missing something simple, but I don't know what...
