    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

    • The order of the matrix indicates the number of rows and columns.
    • The order is represented as rows × columns.
    • The first number in the order represents the number of rows, and the second number represents the number of columns.

    Matrices Examples

    • Examples of matrices are provided.
    • Order of matrix is also indicated in the example.

    Operations on Matrices

    • Matrices can be added, subtracted, multiplied by scalars, and multiplied to other matrices.
    • These operations produce new matrices as a result.

    Addition of Matrices

    • Matrix addition is performed between matrices of the same order.
    • The elements in corresponding positions are added to get the result matrix.

    Scalar Multiplication of Matrices

    • Each element in a matrix is multiplied by a scalar (a constant).
    • The resulting matrix has elements equal to the product of the scalar and the corresponding elements.

    Multiplication of Matrices

    • Matrix multiplication is performed between two matrices in a specific way.
    • The rows of the first matrix are multiplied by the columns of the second matrix.
    • The result of each multiplication is added to get the corresponding element in the resulting matrix.
    • The size of the resulting matrix depends on the order of the original matrices.

    Transpose of Matrix

    • The transpose of a matrix is formed by switching rows and columns.
    • The resulting matrix has the same elements in a different arrangement.

    Trace of Matrix

    • The trace of a square matrix is the sum of its diagonal elements.

    Types of Matrices

    • Different types of matrices exist based on their characteristics and arrangement (e.g., row matrix, column matrix, square matrix, etc.).

    Determinants of a Matrix

    • The determinant of a square matrix is a numerical value associated with that matrix.
    • The determinant of a matrix is calculated by adding or subtracting the products of elements.

    Solving Linear Equation Using Matrices

    • Matrices are used to solve linear equations.
    • To solve multiple variables using matrices, a system of equations can be created.
    • Matrices of variables and constants are created.
