Introduction to Matrices
A matrix is a rectangular array of rows and ROWS
columns. Matrices are denoted by capital
letters as A, B, C etc
COLUMNS
The numerical values within a matrix are called elements or entries of the matrix.
The entries of the matrix are often denoted by the lower case letter of it’s
assigned name with a pair of subscripts denoting the row, column position of
the entry.
The size of a matrix is denoted by listing the number of rows followed by the
number of columns. Matrix B is 2 × 3;
*The number of rows is always stated first.
B is a matrix of order m x n (m rows and n columns).
2 −1
0 2 3
1 0 −3
0 7
−4 1 −1
Equal Matrices
Two matrices
are equal when they have the same dimension (m x n) and all of their
corresponding entries are equal
Example:
Transpose of a Matrix
Transpose – ( AT ) of the matrix A is the matrix obtained by
interchanging the rows and columns of matrix A.
Example:
Types of Matrices
1. A column matrix consists of 2. A row matrix consists of a single
any number of rows and a single row and any number of columns.
column.
3. A zero matrix is a matrix where all the elements in that matrix are zero
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
4. A square matrix has the same number of rows as column.
a)
b)
Example:
Example:
−1 2 3 1 0 −4
Given that A = and C = , find 2C − A
0 −4 7 4 −3 −1
MATRIX MULTIPLICATION
In order to multiply two matrices the columns of the first
matrix must be equal to the rows of the second matrix.
Example:
Example: Find the following matrix multiplication:
1 0 6 1
a)
2 −1 −2 4
2 −3 0 1 0
b)
−1 1 −1 2 −1
