  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. Was always wondering why it always did that. I just turned to a calculator if it was a big complicated system. But now I wanted to figure out why so I can do it in mathematica. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 24, 2012 at 4:32
  • $\begingroup$ Of course MatrixForm (like all formatting functions) is special in that it is stripped away from the output stored in Out if it is applied top-level (but only in that case). This may cause the wrong impression that it has no effect on calculation, but only on display. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 24, 2012 at 8:13
