Educational Visual Basic.Net application to completely understand Matrix Determinant through visualization.
It is a Visual Basic.Net application to find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix and visualize its working, with formula for the same provided in the appication.For those who don't know about matrix determinant,link to wikipedia article has been provided in the application itself.
People who want to calculate the determinant of 3x3 matrix can use the application to do the job instantaneouly. Beginners can read the wikipedia article through the link provided and then come to the application to see how matrix determinant is calculated with the help of visualize button.The application works for only real values.If input is not in the correct form then a message box pops up on the screen asking to provide correct input.
The application can be used as follows: If you are complete beginner,first click on the link provided in the application to read about the matrix determinant.
- Fill the real values as input in the cells inside the determinant .
- If just want to calculate the determinant,click on calculate button.
- If you want to visualize the process also,click on visualize button. 4.To check the temporary output after every interval till that operation,see here.
- If at anytime during visualization,you want to pause the process,you can use the pause button.
- To clear all the text boxes, you can use clear button.
- You can click on the formula button to know the formula used to calculate the determinant of the matrix.
- Output is calculated in front of "=" sign. R1,R2 and R3 represent the rows whereas C1,C2 and C3 represent the columns.
Anyone can contribute to the application to make it more feature rich such as finding the inverse ,rank ,transpose and extending the appication to matrices of size bigger than 3x3.Application can also be extended to complex numbers domain as well.
For any problem regarding the application, you can directly raise an issue on its official github repository.
You can either download and build the project yourself or you can download the .exe file which can directly be used on windows platform from this location -> "Determinant-visualize-and-calculate/Matrix determinent/bin/Debug/
