[mathcad] How to fill a column of a matrix?

Author: Marc Artzrouni Posted: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 14:52:01 +0100

MathCad has several clever "vectorization-type" capabilities - but
there is one simple thing I can't find. Suppose
I have a 3 by 3 matrix A and I want to put in the second column some
other column vector V. how can I do that
in one fell swoop without having to write a silly loop? "Augment" and
"stack" don't help. It would be something like the submatrix function,
except that submatrix works only to extract a submatrix - not to write
into one. Using the same idea as submatrix
one could imagine a "submatrixin" function like

submatrixin(A, 1,3,2,2) = V that would put V in the second
col of A.

Could there be something like that in recent versions that I don't have
in MathCad2001i?
Many thanks

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
