Study Notes
Square Matrices
- A square matrix is an n x n matrix where the number of rows equals the number of columns.
- The main diagonal of a square matrix is the diagonal from top left to bottom right.
- The entries on the main diagonal are a11, a22, ..., ann.
- The trace of a square matrix is the sum of the entries on the main diagonal, denoted as tr(A).
- The trace of a square matrix A is calculated by: tr(A) = Σ aii (i = 1 to n), which is equivalent to a11 + a22 + ... + ann.
Example:
- In the matrix A = (15 21; 44 25), the main diagonal entries are 15 and 25.
- The trace of matrix A is tr(A) = 15 + 25 = 40.
