MatrixForm

MatrixForm[list]
prints with the elements of list arranged in a regular array.

MORE INFORMATION

In StandardForm the array is shown enclosed in parentheses.

MatrixForm prints a single-level list in a column. It prints a two-level list in standard matrix form. More deeply nested lists are by default printed with successive dimensions alternating between rows and columns.

Elements in each column are by default centered.

MatrixForm prints SparseArray objects like the corresponding ordinary lists. »

MatrixForm takes the same set of options as TableForm.

MatrixForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
