1.2 Matrices

The document defines matrices and provides examples of different types of matrices including: - Rectangular matrices with m rows and n columns - Square matrices where m = n - Row vectors and column vectors which are special cases of matrices - Diagonal matrices where only the diagonal elements are non-zero - Scalar matrices where all diagonal elements are equal It also defines operations that can be performed on matrices including: addition, subtraction, transpose, and multiplication. Matrix multiplication is non-commutative, meaning AB is not necessarily equal to BA.

complex) numbers arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns

We shall say that is by (written ). If = , we say that is
a square matrix of order and the numbers 11 , 22 , , are elements of
the main diagonal of . We refer to the , as , th element of and we
often write (1) as
= [ ].

is a 3 1 matrix; is a 3 3 matrix. In , the elements 11 =


1, 22 = 0, 33 = 2 form the main diagonal.

Any 1 size matrix is called row-vector, any 1 size matrix is called


column-vector or simply are called a vector.

Definition. A square matrix = [ ] for which every term off the main
diagonal is zero, that is = 0 for , is called diagonal matrix.

That is obtained by multiplying each element of by .


If = [ ] and = [ ] are matrices, we write + (1) as

The Matrix Multiplication Is Not Commutative


Matrix multiplication is a noncommutative operationi.e., it is possible
for AB = BA, even when both products exist and have the same shape.

Example 10.

Let = [

2 1
