I would usually write that as: (amat = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}) // MatrixForm amat[[1]][[1]] amat[[1, 1]] David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: Eduardo M. A. M.Mendes [mailto:emammendes at gmail.com] Hello there I am new to Mathematica. In one of my attempts to understand how it works, I tried the following example A={{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}} //MatrixForm The result seems to be a matrix 3x3 but when I try A[[1][1]], the whole first line shows up instead of just one element. If I don't use MatrixForm, it works fine. How can I see a matrix in nice format without wrecking everything? Many thanks Ed
