A matrix is a collection of elements arranged in a grid - a pattern of rows and columns. It can be used to represent systems of linear relations among variables. A particular example of such a matrix might be 2 x 3 (read "2 by 3") matrices. The ultimate in shrinkage is when m = n = 1, a matrix with only one element.
