Study Notes

Matrices Overview

Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers or mathematical objects, arranged in rows and columns.
The main purpose of matrices in mathematics is to represent and manipulate data in various fields, including algebra, calculus, and more complex mathematical concepts.

Matrix Operations

Common operations performed on matrices include addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication.
Each operation may have specific requirements regarding the dimensions of the matrices involved.

Matrix Order

The order of a matrix is defined by the number of rows and columns it contains.
A matrix with 3 rows and 4 columns is identified as a 3x4 matrix.

Identity Matrix

An identity matrix is a square matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
The identity matrix serves as the multiplicative identity in matrix multiplication, meaning that multiplying any matrix by the identity matrix results in the original matrix.
