Study Notes

Matrix Addition

Two matrices can be added only if they have the same order (same number of rows and columns).

Matrix Multiplication

Two matrices P and Q can be multiplied to get QP if the number of rows of P is equal to the number of columns of Q.

Matrix Equality

The symbol ~ in matrices represents equivalence.

Matrix Properties

The inverse of a symmetric matrix is symmetric.
The inverse of a diagonal matrix is a diagonal matrix.
(A + B)C = AC + BC is the distributive law.
(MN)O = M(NO) is the associative law.
If A and B are square matrices of the same order and AB = BA = I, then A and B are inverses of each other.
If a matrix A = A^T, then the matrix is symmetric.

Matrix Types

A matrix with i rows and j columns, where i ≠ j, is a rectangular matrix.
A matrix with an equal number of rows and columns is a square matrix.
A matrix with all elements equal to zero is a null matrix.
A matrix where |A| = 0, is a singular matrix.
The number of non-zero rows in an echelon form is called the rank of the matrix.

Matrix Methods

The inverse of a matrix A can be found using the adjoint method.
The method of reduction is used to solve systems of linear equations.

Transpose of a Matrix

The transpose of a column matrix is a row matrix.

###Solving Systems of Linear Equations

Solving systems of linear equations can be done using the method of inversion, method of reduction, or the method of factorization.

Other Matrix Concepts

A square or rectangular array of numbers enclosed in square brackets is called a matrix.
