    A matrix is an array of numbers arranged in rows and columns. The dimensions of a matrix are given by the number of rows (n) and columns (m), written as n x m. Matrices are usually denoted with capital letters in bold print. You can perform operations on matrices of the same dimensions, such as addition/subtraction by adding/subtracting the corresponding elements. To multiply a matrix by a scalar, you multiply each element of the matrix by the scalar value. Matrices are equal if they have the same dimensions and corresponding elements are the same.

    Introduction to Matrices Examples

    A matrix is a array of numbers set out in a table of varying shapes and sizes.
    These sizes are described as the dimensions of the matrix. This is given by two numbers n and m and written in the form n x m.
    The letter n represents the number of rows in the matrix, and m represents the number of columns.
    Matrices are usually denoted in bold print with a capital letter, for example, The matrix M

    Example 1
    What is the order of the following matrices? Write down the element a21 in each case

    (a)

    How to add/subtract matrices?

    You can add and subtract matrices of the same dimensions. To do so,
    you just add/subtract corresponding elements in each matrix.

    How to multiply a matrix with a scalar?


    A scalar value is just a number.
    To multiply a matrix by a scalar, you simply multiply each element of
    the matrix by that number.

    Halve each element (you can


    use fractions in matrices if
    the division isnt exact!)
