Matrices

A matrix is an rectangular array of numbers like

2 Rows, 3 Columns
2x3 matrix

Square matrix of
order n

Zero matrix
order 2

Matrices Addition/Subtraction

Matrices of the same order can be added or subtracted.

Sum of the matrices is the matrice of the sum of array
terms

Matrices Multiplication

When each term of the 1st row of matrix A multiplied by

each element of 1st column of B the sum of the products
yields the element c11
