Matrices in Mathematics

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
Types of matrices:
- Square matrix: A matrix with an equal number of rows and columns.
- Diagonal matrix: A matrix with all non-zero elements on the diagonal.
- Identity matrix: A square matrix with all elements on the diagonal equal to 1 and all other elements equal to 0.
- Zero matrix: A matrix with all elements equal to 0.
Operations on matrices:
- Addition: Matrices can be added element-wise.
- Subtraction: Matrices can be subtracted element-wise.
- Multiplication: Matrices can be multiplied by a scalar or by another matrix.
- Transpose: The transpose of a matrix is obtained by swapping its rows and columns.
Inverse of a matrix: A matrix A is said to have an inverse A^(-1) if AA^(-1) = A^(-1)A = I, where I is the identity matrix.

Inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse of the basic trigonometric functions.
Types of inverse trigonometric functions:
- sin^(-1)(x) or arcsin(x)
- cos^(-1)(x) or arccos(x)
- tan^(-1)(x) or arctan(x)
- cot^(-1)(x) or arccot(x)
- sec^(-1)(x) or arcsec(x)
- csc^(-1)(x) or arccsc(x)
Properties of inverse trigonometric functions:
- Domain and range of each function.
- Graphs of each function.
- Identities and formulas involving inverse trigonometric functions.

A determinant is a scalar value that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix.
Types of determinants:
- Determinant of a 2x2 matrix: ad - bc
- Determinant of a 3x3 matrix: a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)
Properties of determinants:
- If two rows or columns of a matrix are interchanged, the determinant changes sign.
- If two rows or columns of a matrix are proportional, the determinant is zero.
- If a row or column of a matrix is multiplied by a scalar, the determinant is multiplied by that scalar.
Applications of determinants:
- Solving systems of linear equations.
- Finding the inverse of a matrix.
- Calculating the area of a triangle.

A relation is a set of ordered pairs.
A function is a relation in which every input corresponds to exactly one output.
Types of functions:
- Injective function (one-to-one): Each output corresponds to exactly one input.
- Surjective function (onto): Each output is the image of at least one input.
- Bijective function (one-to-one and onto): Each output corresponds to exactly one input and each input corresponds to exactly one output.
Composite functions:
- (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x))
- Properties of composite functions.

Applications of derivatives:
- Finding the maximum and minimum values of a function.
- Finding the rate of change of a function.
- Finding the slope of a tangent to a curve.
- Optimization problems.
Geometric applications of derivatives:
- Finding the equation of a tangent to a curve.
- Finding the length of a curve.
- Finding the area under a curve.
Physical applications of derivatives:
- Motion along a line, motion along a curve, and motion in space.
- Related rates.
