Matrix - A matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array of rows and columns of elements. The
elements may be number or things. Matrices are usually denoted by capital letters. The following
are some examples of matrices.
A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m X n (read as “m by n”)
Types of matrices
i. Row matrix - A matrix with only one row and any number of columns is called row
matrix. For example, [3, 0, 1] is a row matrix of order 1 X 3 and [2] is a row matrix of
order 1 X 1.
ii. Column matrix - A matrix with only one column and any number of rows is called a
column matrix for example, is a column matrix of order 3 X 1 and [2] is a column
matrix of order 1 X 1.
Here we see that [2] is both a row matrix as well as a column matrix.
iii. Zero matrix - A matrix with all zero element is called a zero matrix or null matrix.
iv. Square matrix - A matrix with same number of rows and columns is called a square
matrix.
v. Diagonal matrix - A square matrix having elements in main diagonal only and the other
elements are 1.
Equality of matrices: - Two matrices are said to be equal if they are of same order and their
then a = 1, b = 3, c = 6, d = 2, e = 4, f = 5.
Multiple of a matrix by a scalar : - When a matrix is multiplied by a scalar then all the
elements of the matrix are multiple by the same scalar. For example if
Also,
i. K (A + B) = KA + KB
ii. (K + K’) A = KA + K’ A
Addition of two matrices : - Two or more matrices of same order can be added. For example
i. A+B=B+A
ii. A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
Transpose of Matrix : - The matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and column of a matrix
is called the transpose of the matrix.
