Matrices
A matrix is a rectangular array of m×n numbers (real or
complex ) in the form of m horizontal lines (called rows)
and n vertical lines (called columns) is called a matrix of
order m by n, written as m×n matrix.

Equality of Matrices
Two matrices are equal when their orders are equals
and their individual elements are equal.
6
Addition and Subtraction of Matrices
The order of two matrices should be the same to be able to
perform the addition or subtraction operation.

Matrix Multiplied by a Scalar
When the matrix multiplied by a scalar value, say p, we
obtain the resulting matrix by multiplying each element of the
matrix by the scalar p.
12
Multiplication of Matrices
We can multiply two matrices (the product AB is defined)
only when they are conformable, i.e., the number of
columns in the first matrix should be equal to the number of
rows in the second.
