    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.
