Enter rows on separate lines and separate each row with commas.
Enter rows separated by newlines and columns separated by commas. All rows must have the same number of columns and contain numeric values.

The condition number measures how sensitive the matrix is to small changes in the input.
What does a high condition number mean?
A high condition number means the matrix is sensitive to small changes.
Can rectangular matrices be used?
Yes. The calculation is based on A^T A, so rectangular matrices are supported.
What if the matrix is invalid?
The calculator rejects empty rows, uneven row lengths, and non-numeric values.
Why use singular values?
Singular values directly capture numerical stretching and compression.
