What to Focus On

  • A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers.
  • Rows are horizontal and columns are vertical.
  • Order m×n means m rows and n columns.
  • A column matrix has only one column.
  • A row matrix has only one row.
  • A square matrix has the same number of rows and columns.
  • Equal matrices must have the same order.
  • All corresponding elements must be equal.
  • A mismatch in order or any entry makes matrices unequal.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any two matrices can be added or subtracted if the numbers look similar.

If AB is possible, then BA is also possible.

Matrix multiplication follows the commutative law, so AB = BA.
