denoted by lower case letters

Different types of Matrices

• Column Matrix - a matrix with only one column.
• Row Matrix - a matrix with only one row.
• Square Matrix - a matrix that has the same number of rows and
columns.

 Introduction
A rectangular array of numbers. The numbers in the array are called the entries in the matrix.

An entry of a row i and a column j of a matrix A is denoted as aij. Thus a A matrix with only one column
is called a column matrix
general m  n matrix might be written as:

A matrix with only one row is

called a row matrix

m
row main diagonal of A

n
column
A matrix with n rows and n columns is called
a square matrix of order n, and the entries
a11, a22, a33, …, ann are known as the main diagonal of A

MATRIX OPERATIONS-ADDITION &
SUBSTRACTION
• If A = [aij] and B = [bij] are matrices both of sizes m × n, then their sum, A+B
is an m × n matrix resulting from the addition of the entries B to the
corresponding entries A i.e.

A + B = [aij + bij].

• Their differences, A-B is an m × n matrix obtained by subtracting the entries

of B from the corresponding entries of A i.e.

A − B = [aij − bij]
 
• Matrices of different sizes cannot be added or subtracted.

 MATRIX OPERATIONS:
MULTIPLICATIONS
• The product of two matrices is another matrix
• Two matrices A and B must be conformable for multiplication to be possible
i.e. the number of columns of A must equal the number of rows of B
Example: A x B = C
(1x3) (3x1) (1x1)

• The following is an illustration of the product of a 2 x 4 matrix with a 4 x 3 . First,

the number of columns of the matrix on the left equals the number of rows of the
matrix on the right so matrix multiplication is defined. A row by column
multiplication is performed three times to obtain the first row of the product:
