Installation & Requirements

• Install Python 3.9 or higher 🐍
• No external packages are required; the program uses standard Python libraries (tkinter and fractions)
• Clone or download the repository 🐱

git clone https://github.com/nico-urrutia/matrix-calculator.git
cd matrix-calculator

How to Run

From the terminal or command prompt:

python main.py #This launches the GUI.

Example Input

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Click the buttons to calculate Determinant, Rank, or Inverse.
