 A matrix is a group of numbers(elements) that are arranged in rows and columns. In

general, an m × n matrix is a rectangular array of mn numbers (or elements) arranged in m
rows and n columns. If m = n the matrix is called a square matrix. For example a 2×2 matrix
is

and an 3 × 3 matrix is

 Generally, we use bold phase letter, like A, to denote a matrix, and lower case letters with
subscripts, like 𝑎 , to denote element of a matrix. Here 𝑎 would be the element at 𝑖 row
and 𝑗 column. So 𝑎 is an element at 1st row and column. Sometime we use the
abbreviation A = (𝑎 ) for a matrix with elements 𝑎 .

 1. Column Vector or Row Vector

 Column vector or column matrix is a matrix with only one column and m rows
(mx1).
 For example, the 4x1 matrix

4. Identity matrix
A square matrix is called an identity matrix if all its diagonal elements are equal
to 1 and all its off-diagonal elements are equal to 0.

5. Diagonal Matrix
A diagonal matrix is a square matrix in which every element not on the principal
diagonal is zero and whose diagonal elements can take any value.

is, 𝑎 = 𝑎 = 𝑎 .

corresponding rows and columns of A are interchanged.

10. Inverse Matrix

Let A and B be square matrices. The matrix B is called the inverse of A if and only if the
product of A and B is the identity matrix, that is AB = BA.

A square matrix having no inverse is called a singular matrix. Thus a square
matrix for which the inverse exists is called nonsingular matrix.

Matrix Addition/Subtraction
Consider the following properties:
Two matrices are conformable with respect to addition if they have the same
dimensions
A. The sum of two matrices A and B which are conformable with respect to
addition is a matrix whose elements are sum of corresponding elements of A and
B.
B. Addition of matrices is commutative A+B = B+A.
C. Addition of matrices of associative A+(B+C) = (A+B)+C = (A+C)+B

Note that the above properties are also true for matrix subtraction. The addition
of conformable matrices A and B is summarized by
A+B =C= (𝐶 ) = (𝑎 + 𝑏 )

 Matrix Multiplication
• Not all matrices can be multiplied together, just as not all
matrices can be added
• The ability to multiply is dependent on the order of the
matrices
• If has order × ( rows and columns) and has order
× ( rows and columns), we can multiply × only if = .
The resultant matrix will have order ×
• We say the product is undefined if the matrices cannot be
multiplied

 Matrix Multiplication Requirements

• That is, to multiply two matrices with orders

• Note that × might be defined, but × undefined.

• Another way to say if multiplication is possible is: “The number
of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of
rows in the second matrix”

How to multiply matrices
Rule: Let 𝐴 and 𝐵 be matrices whose product, 𝐴 × 𝐵, is defined as 𝐶.
To calculate the value of element 𝑐 , ,we combine the 𝑖 row of matrix 𝐴 and the 𝑗 column of
matrix 𝐵.

 A combination of the 2nd row of 𝐴 and the 1st column of

 𝐵 gives the element in the 2nd row and 1st column of 𝐶.

 How do we actually combine the elements of the row and column?

• Consider both the row and column as a list of numbers

• Multiply the corresponding elements in each list together
• Add the results of these products together
