A long time ago, I struggled with this question and I don't know
of a satisfying answer. For a while, I went directly to the
following info node and looked around:
(info "(calc) Matrix Functions")
Now I just remember the initial "v" :-)
But there are other calc functions that are useful as well, so this
will certainly not suffice in general. But it's a start.
