Matrix Builder

What is the Matrix Builder?

The importance of linear algebra and its representation in matrix form has been on a growing trend for a long time. However, working with the matrix can be a difficult challenge; especially working with many big matrices in a computer can be a quite tedious task. Therefore, through this project we have sought to alleviate these burdensome problems with an intuitive solution. Matrix builder is the GUI program which helps users to build any matrix using an interactive canvas based on the tkinter library. The program uses a basic drag-and-drop scheme to interact with the users. It supports various ways to convert users' works in the program into useful formats which users can directly utilize.
