MULTIPLICATIO
N OF
MATRICES
Presented by: Genelyn Mar
1. For two matrices A and B, we will find their product
AB. Their product is a matrix called C, that is, AB =
C.
2. C is a matrix. The problem is to find the entries of C.
3. Each entry in C will depend on a row from matrix A
and a column from matrix B.

We call the entry in row i and column j the (i, j) entry of

a matrix. The (i, j) entry in C is a number obtained
using all entries of row i in A and using all entries of
column j in B. For example, the (2, 3) entry in C
depends on row 2 of A and column 3 of B. We show you
how to find an entry in C by using the dot product of a
