# Left Matrix Division

Left Matrix Division (A\B) is defined as solving the equation Ax = B.

Depending on whether A is square, under determined, or over determined, the way to solve this solution is different. When A is square, x = inv(A)*b. If A is over determined, the least squares solution is produced. If A is under determined, the least squares solution with the minimum norm is produced.

\ Scalar Row Vector Column Vector Matrix
Scalar Divides the second scalar by the first scalar. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division.
Row Vector x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division.
Column Vector     x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division.
Matrix     x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division. x = A\B solves Ax = B using left matrix division.
