    Study Notes

    Vectors

    • Vectors represent displacement in coordinate systems.
    • Vectors have initial points, terminal points, and magnitudes.
    • Vectors can be added by adding their corresponding components.
    • Vector subtraction is the same as addition with a negated second vector.
    • The magnitude (or length) of a vector can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

    Matrices

    • Matrices are rectangular arrays of values (elements) accessed by row and column subscripts.
    • Matrix addition and subtraction can only be performed on matrices with the same dimensions.
    • Matrix addition is performed by adding corresponding elements.
    • Matrix subtraction is performed by subtracting corresponding elements.
    • Scalar multiplication: Multiply each element in a matrix by a scalar value.
    • Matrix multiplication can only be performed if the column count of the left-hand side matrix equals the row count of the right-hand side matrix.
    • Matrix multiplication involves multiplying elements of each row in the first matrix by the elements of each column in the second matrix, then summing the products.
    • The identity matrix is a square matrix with ones along the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
    • The identity matrix leaves any point or matrix unchanged when multiplied.
    • The transpose of a matrix is obtained by interchanging its rows and columns.
