Study Notes

Matrices

  • Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers, symbols, points, or characters, each in a specific row and column.
  • The order of a matrix is given by rows × columns.
  • The elements of a matrix are the numbers, symbols, etc. inside the matrix.
  • Each element's location is defined by its row and column.
  • Matrices are crucial in engineering mathematics and solving linear equations.

What are Matrices?

  • A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of elements.
  • All elements have a specific location in the arrangement.
  • These elements are arranged in rows and columns.

Matrices Definition

  • A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or characters.
  • Matrices are identified by their order, which is the number of rows × number of columns.
  • The representation of a matrix is [P]m×n where P is the matrix, m is the number of rows, and n is the number of columns.

Order of Matrix
