Study Notes

Matrices

A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers enclosed in brackets.
Each number in a matrix is an element.
An m x n matrix has m rows and n columns.

Types of Matrices

A square matrix has the same number of rows and columns.
A column matrix has one column.
A row matrix has one row.
A vector is a matrix with one row or one column.
A zero matrix has all elements equal to zero.
A diagonal matrix is a square matrix with non-diagonal elements equal to zero.
An identity matrix is a diagonal matrix with all diagonal elements equal to 1.
A scalar matrix is a square matrix with a constant value on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Position of Elements

Elements are identified by their row and column, denoted using double subscript notation.
a_ij represents the element in row i and column j.
The principal diagonal consists of elements a_ii where i is the row and column number.

Transpose

The transpose of a matrix A is denoted A^T.
It is created by swapping the rows and columns of the original matrix.
If the original matrix is m x n, the transpose is n x m.
