Governing equation

det (A) = a d - b c = (2) (3) - (1) (1) = 5

Reading this result: A is square with det(A) = 5 ≠ 0, so it is invertible; |det| is the factor by which the map scales area/volume.

About this simulation

The full Matrix Calculator tool models a random walk with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
