Dear Sir or Madam, I'm trying to solve quite extensive matrix equations in symbolic notation with Mathematica and have problems with getting symbolic results. --- The problem can be shortly described as follows: simple example: From equation A B == C with the kown matrices A and C i would like to get a result like B = A^(-1) C (and not all the matrix elements of B). another example: By using the function 'Solve(A+B==C, {B11,B12,B21,B22})' with A, B and C being 2x2-matrices I would prefer to indicate only matrix {B} as the unknown variable instead of writing all the matrix elements {B11, B12, B21, B22} (which gets quite painful if you have matrices of higher order). --- Thanks a lot for your help!
