Matrix concept
- The main and abstract context is that it is a certain quantity of numbers arranged in a rectangle with certain numbre of rows and columns.
-
Types of Matrices
-
Rectangular: arranged as nxm.
-
Squared arranged as n=m rows and columns. They have symmetry and asymmetry.
- Complex: Imaginary matrix. Real: with real numbers.
-
Operations with matrices
-
Addition and Substraction: They can just be done with matrices of same dimension, and so you just add or subtract the numbers in the same position.
-
Multiplication: When multiplying times a number multiply each number of the matrix time the number. When multiplying times another matrix the other matrix has to have the same numbers of rows as the other columns.
-
Equality: Two matrices A and B of same order mxn are said to be equal if and only if all of their components
are equal.
- Transposition: The columns and rows are changed and that is the transposition.
- Scalar multiplication: You multiply every component by the scalar c , mathematically it is written c A d=ef [cai j ] , Division of a matrix by a nonzero scalar c is equivalent to
multiplication by (1/c).
- Matrix by Vector product: you multiply as if the matrix was turned to the right, and then add as it is.
- Rows of A are multiplied with columns of B and so you obtain C matrix result, that is nxp, because one is mxn and the other nxp.
