The default behavior of MatrixForm is to treat the entire object, Level 0,
as a Column, to treat Level 1 items as a Row, etc. You can either write the
object as a true matrix or you can change the default behavior by using the
TableDirections option.
MatrixForm[{{a, b}}]
MatrixForm[{a, b}, TableDirections -> Row]

Hi,
How come
{a, b} // MatrixForm
{{a}, { b}} // MatrixForm
produce identical outputs: columns?
I would think that the first "matrix" is 1x2 and the second is 2x1.
Alternatively, how do I produce a 1x2 matrix?
Many thanks in advance,
Sam
