Purpose

The module MatrixArithmetic offers standard arithmetic operations on one or two given homogeneous 4x4 matrices, scalars, and vectors.

Usage

The module requires up to two matrices Matrix A and Matrix B.

Unary operations (inverse, pseudoinverse, transpose, negation) take only one Matrix A, whereas binary operations (add, subtract, multiply) require both matrices.

Scalar and vector operations require corresponding inputs.
