Description

• 

This function checks whether its first argument is a Maple matrix. A matrix is defined to be a two-dimensional array with indices starting at 1.

• 

If the argument R is given, the function checks whether A is a matrix with entries from the domain R.

• 

If the argument square is given, then the function also checks if A is a square matrix.

• 

When the second or third syntax is used, it is essential to quote the word matrix in order to avoid confusion with the matrix function in the linalg package.

• 

Note: The command matrix has been superseded by Matrix.
