Study Notes

Vectors

Vectors are represented as 〈𝒎, 𝒏〉 and represent displacement.
Vectors can be added, subtracted, and multiplied by scalars.
Vector addition is performed by adding corresponding components.
Vector subtraction is performed by adding the first vector and a negated version of the second.
The length/magnitude of a vector can be determined using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Matrices

A matrix is a rectangular array of values or elements.
Matrices with the same number of dimensions can be added or subtracted by adding or subtracting corresponding elements.
Matrices can be multiplied by a scalar by multiplying each element in the matrix by the scalar.
Matrices can be multiplied when the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix.
Matrix multiplication is performed by 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 its diagonal and zeros elsewhere. Any point or matrix multiplied by the identity matrix remains unchanged.
The transpose of a matrix is computed by swapping its rows and columns.
