    Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers or expressions that are useful in many areas of science, engineering, economics, and other fields. Some key points about matrices include: - Matrices were first introduced in 1850 and their algebra was defined in 1858. - Matrices provide a mathematical shortcut for studying problems represented by their entries. - A matrix is defined by its rows and columns. It is denoted by a capital letter and enclosed in brackets. - The order of a matrix refers to its dimensions, such as a 3x2 matrix having 3 rows and 2 columns.

    Matrices

    1850 – Sylvester introduced the term ‘matrix’ for the first time
    1858 – Cayley outlined a matrix algebra defining addition,
    multiplication, scalar
    multiplication and inverses.

    Matrices provide a kind of mathematical shortcut to help the


    study of problems
    represented by its entries.

    Matrix - Definition
    Matrix - a rectangular array of entries

    The entries may be real, complex or functions.


     2 2 1
     
    The horizontal arrangements are called rows.  1 1 3
     
    The vertical arrangements are called columns.

    The entries are also called the elements of the matrix.

    Matrix - Definition

    The rectangular array of entries is enclosed in an ordinary


    bracket or in a square
    bracket.

    Matrices are denoted by capital letters. (A, B, C etc.)


     2 2 1
     
     1 1 3
    Example: is a matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns.

    Order of a matrix
    A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m x n.
    Such a matrix has mn elements. In general, an (m x n) matrix is of the
    form:
     a11 a12 a13 ... a1 j ... a1n 
    a a a ... a ... a 
     21 22 23 2 j 2 n 
     a31 a32 a33 ... a3 j ... a3n 
     
     ... ... ... ... ... 
     ai1 ai 2 ai 3 ... aij ... ain 
     
     ... ... ... ... ... 
    a 
     m1 am 2 am3 ... amj ... amn 
    where aij represents the element in the ith row, jth column.
     
    The above matrix may be denoted as A = [aij ]mxn .
