    Study Notes

    Matrix Operations

    • Addition: Matrices can be added element-wise, but only if they have the same dimensions.
    • Scalar Multiplication: A matrix can be multiplied by a scalar, which multiplies each element by the scalar.
    • Transpose: A matrix can be transposed, which swaps the row and column indices.

    Elements

    • A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
    • Each element is denoted by a_ij, where i is the row index and j is the column index.
    • Matrices can be classified based on the number of rows and columns:
      • Square matrix: same number of rows and columns.
      • Rectangular matrix: different number of rows and columns.
      • Row matrix: single row.
      • Column matrix: single column.

    Determinants

    • The determinant of a matrix is a scalar value that can be used to determine the solvability of a system of linear equations.
    • The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is calculated as ad - bc, where a, b, c, and d are the elements of the matrix.
    • The determinant of a larger matrix can be calculated using the recursive formula:
      • det(A) = a11*det(A11) - a12*det(A12) + ... + a1n*det(A1n)

    Matrix Multiplication

    • Matrix multiplication is not commutative, i.e., AB ≠ BA in general.
    • The product of two matrices A and B is a matrix C where c_ij = a_i1*b_1j + a_i2*b_2j + ... + a_in*b_nj.
    • The dimensions of the matrices must match for multiplication to be possible:
      • A must have the same number of columns as B has rows.
      • The resulting matrix C has the same number of rows as A and the same number of columns as B.

    Simultaneous Equations

    • A system of linear equations can be represented as a matrix equation AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.
    • The matrix equation can be solved using matrix operations, such as:
      • Inverse matrix method: X = A^(-1)B
      • Cramer's rule: x_i = det(A_i) / det(A), where A_i is the matrix obtained by replacing the i-th column of A with B.

    Matrix Operations

    • Matrices can be added element-wise only if they have the same dimensions.
    • Scalar multiplication of a matrix multiplies each element by the scalar.
    • A matrix can be transposed, swapping row and column indices.
