DEFINITIONS
- The numbers inside a matrix are called the elements or entries of the matrix.
- The sequence of all entries on a horizontal line is called a row, and the sequence of
all entries on a vertical line is called a column. We number the rows from top to
bottom, and the columns from left to right.
- The entry in the kth row and lth column of a matrix A is denoted by akl.

EXAMPLE 1:
-The transpose of a matrix is simply a flipped version of the original matrix. We can
transpose a matrix by switching its rows with its columns. We denote the transpose of
matrix A by AT.
Example:
A= [ 14 2 3
5 6 ]
The transpose of A is
1 4
[ ]
At = 2 5
3 6
-We can take a transpose of a vector as a special case. Since an n-dimensional vector x is
represented by an n×1 column matrix

x= x 3 ,

BASIC OPERATION ON MATRICES.
-Matrix Addition
Two matrices can be added if they have the same size. We add two such matrices by adding
the corresponding entries.
-Scalar Multiplication
Any matrix can be multiplied by a single number (scalar). We do this by multiplying all the
entries of the matrix by that number.
n columns→ [ ⋮⋮ ⋮ ⋮ ⋮
⋮ ⋮ ⋮
A ]
n rows→ [ ⋯⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯
⋯ ⋯ ⋯
B ]
To calculate the entry in the (i, j) position (that is, in the i th row and jth column) of AB,
multiply the ith row of A by the jth column of B.

[ ab cd ][ eg hf ]=[ ae+bg
