Introduction

What is a Matrix?

 A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers.


 It is arranged in rows and columns.
 Example: [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ]
Order of a Matrix

 Order = Number of Rows × Number of Columns


 Example: A 2×3 matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns.
Types of Matrices

 Row Matrix: Only one row


 Column Matrix: Only one column
 Square Matrix: Rows = Columns
 Diagonal, Scalar, Identity, and Zero Matrices
Matrix Operations

 Addition & Subtraction: Same order matrices


 Scalar Multiplication: Multiply all elements
 Matrix Multiplication: Column of A = Row of B
Transpose of a Matrix

 Switching rows with columns


 Notation: Aᵀ
 Example: A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] → Aᵀ = [[1, 3], [2, 4]]
Determinant and Inverse

 Determinant: Only for square matrices


 Inverse exists only if determinant ≠ 0
 For 2×2 matrix: A⁻¹ = 1/|A| × adj(A)
Applications of Matrices

 Solving systems of equations


 Computer graphics and animation
 Data encryption and security
 Engineering and economics
Summary

 Matrix is a rectangular number arrangement.


 Types include square, row, column, etc.
 Operations: addition, multiplication, transpose.
 Used in math, tech, and real-life applications.
