<h1 align="center">Matrices</h1>
<p>A Matrix is an array of numbers:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-example.svg" alt="2x3 Matrix" />
<br />
<span class="large">A Matrix</span><br />
(This one has 2 Rows and 3 Columns)</p>
<div class="words">
<p>We talk about one <b>matrix</b>, or several <b>matrices</b>.</p>
</div>
<p>There are many things we can do with them ...</p>
<h2>Adding</h2>
<p>To add two matrices: add the numbers in the matching positions:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-addition.gif" alt="Matrix Addition" width="384" height="119" /></p>
<div class="simple">
<div align="center">These are the calculations: </div>
<table align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td>3+4=7</td>
<td>8+0=8</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>4+1=5</td>
<td>6&minus;9=&minus;3</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>The two matrices must be the same size, i.e. the rows must match in size, and the columns must match in size.</p>
<div class="example">
<p>Example: a matrix with <b>3 rows</b> and <b>5 columns</b> can be added to another matrix of <b>3 rows</b> and <b>5 columns</b>.</p>
<p>But it could not be added to a matrix with <b>3 rows</b> and <b>4 columns</b> (the columns don't match in size)</p>
</div>
<h2>Negative</h2>
<p>The negative of a matrix is also simple:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-negative.gif" alt="Matrix Negative" width="279" height="111" /></p>
<div class="simple">
<div align="center">These are the calculations: </div>
<table align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td>&minus;(2)=&minus;2</td>
<td>&minus;(&minus;4)=+4</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>&minus;(7)=&minus;7</td>
<td>&minus;(10)=&minus;10</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<h2>Subtracting</h2>
<p>To subtract two matrices: subtract the numbers in the matching positions:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-subtraction.gif" alt="Matrix Subtraction" width="383" height="115" /></p>
<div class="simple">
<div align="center">These are the calculations: </div>
<table align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td>3&minus;4=&minus;1</td>
<td>8&minus;0=8</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>4&minus;1=3</td>
<td>6&minus;(&minus;9)=15</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p align="center"><i>Note: subtracting is actually defined as the <b>addition</b> of a negative matrix: A + (&minus;B)</i></p>
<h2>Multiply by a Constant</h2>
<p>We can multiply a matrix by a <b>constant</b> <i>(the value 2 in this case)</i>:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-multiply-constant.gif" alt="Matrix Multiply Constant" width="304" height="116" /></p>
<div class="simple">
<div align="center">These are the calculations: </div>
<table align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td>2&times;4=8</td>
<td>2&times;0=0</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td>2&times;1=2</td>
<td>2&times;&minus;9=&minus;18</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>We call the constant a <b>scalar</b>, so officially this is called <span class="large">&quot;scalar multiplication&quot;</span>. </p>
<h2>Multiplying by Another Matrix</h2>
<p>To <b>multiply two matrices together</b> is a bit more difficult ... read <a href="matrix-multiplying.html">Multiplying Matrices</a> to learn how.</p>
<h2>Dividing</h2>
<p>And what about division? Well we <b>don't</b> actually divide matrices, we do it this way:</p>
<div class="def">
<p align="center" class="large">A/B = A &times; (1/B) = A &times; B<sup>-1</sup></p>
<p align="center">where <b>B<sup>-1</sup></b> means the &quot;inverse&quot; of B. </p>
</div>
<p align="center" class="larger">So we don't divide, instead we <b>multiply by an inverse</b>. </p>
<p>And there are special ways to find the Inverse, learn more at <a href="matrix-inverse.html">Inverse of a Matrix</a>.</p>
<h2>Transposing</h2>
<p>To &quot;transpose&quot; a matrix, swap the rows and columns. </p>
<p>We put a &quot;T&quot; in the top right-hand corner to mean transpose:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-transpose.gif" alt="Matrix Transpose" width="299" height="108" /></p>
<h2>Notation</h2>
<p>A matrix is usually shown by a <b>capital letter</b> (such as A, or B)</p>
<p>Each entry (or &quot;element&quot;) is shown by a <b>lower case letter</b> with a &quot;subscript&quot; of <b>row,column</b>:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/matrix-notation.gif" alt="Matrix Notation" width="242" height="69" /></p>
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/column.gif" alt="column" width="113" height="228" /></td>
<td><h3>Rows and Columns</h3>
<p>So which is the row and which is the column?</p>
<ul>
<li>Rows go<b> left-right</b></li>
<li>Columns go <b>up-down</b></li>
</ul>
<p>To remember that rows come before columns use the word <b>&quot;arc&quot;</b>: </p>
<p align="center"><span class="largest">a<sub>r,c</sub></span></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<div class="example">
<h3>Example:</h3>
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="largest">B =</td>
<td class="largest">&nbsp;</td>
<td><img src="images/matrix-example.svg" alt="2x3 Matrix" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Here are some sample entries:</p>
<p align="center"><span class="large">b<sub>1,1</sub> = 6 </span><i>(the entry at row 1, column 1 is 6)</i></p>
<p align="center"><span class="large">b<sub>1,3</sub> = 24 </span><i>(the entry at row 1, column 3 is 24)</i></p>
<p align="center"><span class="large">b<sub>2,3</sub> = 8 </span><i>(the entry at row 2, column 3 is 8)</i></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="questions">
<script type="text/javascript">getQ(710, 711, 2398, 2399, 712, 2400, 713, 2401, 9036, 9037);</script>&nbsp;
