INTRODUCTORY MATRIX ALGEBRA
MATRIC is a rectangular or square array of numbers or variables arrange in rows or columns.
We use upper case bold face to represent matrices. Aix j matrix is a matrix with {rows and j
columns, thus a 2 x 3 matrix has two rows and three columns.
Example, matrix A = Qj, Where aj ij is the general element or entries, i = row position and j
=column position,
A=|21 G22 423

ARRAY
Array is simply the arrangement of elements in a row or column form.
VECTOR
A vector is a matrix with a single column or row.
Example: The test scores of students in a Multivariate Analysis course.

The variable element in a vector can be identified by a single subscript,

ADDITION/SUBTRACTION OF A MATRIX
‘The addition/subtraction of two or more matrices can be done if they are of the same order. That
is we can add or subtract for example a 4 x 4 matrix to another 4 x 4 matrix,

SQUARE MATRIX
A square matrix is a matrix with equal number of rows and columns.
Example: 2 x 2,3 x 3, 4 x 4 Matrices.

TRANSPOSE OF A MATRIX
Ifa matrix A= ay then the transpose of A is written as A’ or AT=aj,
ifmatrix A =r x c, then matrix A transpose is A’or AT = ¢ Xr.

MATRIX INVERSE
If A is a non-singular square matrix, there is an existence of k x k matrix A, which is called
the inverse matrix of A such that it satisfies the property: AA7= A™A = I where I is the
Identity or unit matrix.
A square matrix which has an inverse is called invertible or nonsingular, and a square matrix
without an inverse is called non invertiable or singular,
Finding inverse of a matrix
> Find the minors, cofactors and adjoint of the given matrix.
> Minor matrix, (My), we find the determinant of the matrix we have (remaining) after
removing the i-th row and the j -th column,
> The cofactor of a matrix can be obtained as.
Cy = (-1)Y det (My)
> The adjoint, adj(A) of a matrix A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
> A™=adj(A)/det(A),
