The TI-81 probably includes the matrix row multiplication (etc) functions
to facilitate solving a system of simultaneous equations -- on the HP 48,
this can be done more easily using the divide function (check the manual).
The TI-81 does not provide this easy method to solve a system.  Clearly,
the 48 can be easily programmed to do such row/column multiplications.
