What to Focus On

  • A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers or functions.
  • Order of a matrix is written as m × n.
  • A matrix of order m × n has mn elements.
  • Column matrix has one column.
  • Row matrix has one row.
  • Square matrix has equal numbers of rows and columns.
  • Same order is necessary for equality.
  • All corresponding entries must be equal.
  • Equality of matrices often helps form equations in unknowns.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Matrices of different orders can be added if most corresponding entries match.

If AB is defined, then BA must also be defined.

Matrix multiplication is commutative, so AB = BA whenever both are defined.
