Study Notes

Matrices

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or functions, each known as an entry or element.

Example:

[ 4  -2   1   sin(x)   cos(x) ]
[ 0   3   5  -cos(x)   sin(x) ]

Trace of a Matrix

The trace of a square matrix A is the sum of its main diagonal elements, denoted as tr(A).
If A is not a square matrix, its trace is undefined.
Example: For A =
```
[ 4   5 ]
[ 10  6 ]
```
tr(A) = 4 + 6 = 10.

Types of Matrices

Symmetric Matrix: A matrix A is symmetric if A = AT.
- Example:
```
[ 1  3  4 ]
[ 3  2  7 ]
[ 4  7  4 ]
```
Skew-Symmetric Matrix: A matrix A is skew-symmetric if A = -AT.
- Example:
```
[ 0  -3  4 ]
[ 3   0  -7 ]
[ -4 -7  0 ]
```
Singular and Non-Singular Matrix:
- A matrix A is non-singular if its determinant |A| ≠ 0.
- It is singular if |A| = 0.
- Example:
  - |A| for A =
```
[ 2  1 ]
[ 8  4 ]
```
    gives |A| = 0 (singular).
  - |A| for A =
```
[ 3  4 ]
```
    gives |A| = -2 (non-singular).
Orthogonal Matrix: A matrix is orthogonal if the product of the matrix and its transpose equals the identity matrix.

Rank of a Matrix

The rank of a matrix is determined by the number of non-zero rows in its Row Echelon Form.
Example:
```
[ 1  3 -1 ]
[ 0  1  4 ]
```
has a rank of 2.

Quadratic Forms

A quadratic form is a homogeneous polynomial of the second degree, such as ax² + 2hxy + by².
It can be represented in matrix notation using a symmetric matrix A.

Diagonalization

A matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix P such that P⁻¹AP = D, where D is a diagonal matrix.
The characteristic equation is |A - λI_n| = 0 to find eigenvalues.

System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations can be represented using matrices in the form A[X] = B, where:
- A: coefficient matrix
- X: vector of variables
- B: constant matrix

Gauss Elimination Method

A technique to solve systems of linear equations to transform matrices into Row Echelon Form, facilitating back substitution to find variable values.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

Eigenvalues determine scaling factors in transformations applied to eigenvectors, solutions to |A - λI| = 0 give eigenvalues.
Eigenvalues can also determine the form of powers of matrices like A².

Notes on Systems of Equations

To find unique or infinite solutions:
- Analyze the determinant and rank of the augmented matrix.
- Use back substitution to derive specific variable values.
