MATRIX - A matrix comprises rows and

columns of numbers organized in a

rectangular pattern.
RECTAGULAR MATRIX - A matrix consisting of rows and columns that contain various
quantities.
Ex: The matrix has 3 columns and 4 rows. It is called 3x4.
SQUARE MATRIX – A matrix in which the number of rows and columns are identical.
Ex: The matrix has 3 columns and 3 rows. It is called 3x3.
DIAGONAL MATRIX - If all elements of a square matrix are "0" except those on the principal
diagonal, it is referred to as a diagonal matrix.
Ex: The matrix has 3 columns and 3 rows. It is called 3x3.
SCALAR MATRIX - A scalar matrix is a type of diagonal matrix. All the scalar matrix's diagonal
entries have the same value.
IDENTITY/UNIT MATRIX - The identity matrix is a square matrix of any order that has the
components "1" on its major diagonal and "0" in all the other cells.
ROW MATRIX - A matrix with a single row.
Ex: A row matrix of order 1x4.
COLUMN MATRIX - A matrix with a single column.
Ex: A column matrix of order 4x1.
NULL/ZERO MATRIX - A zero matrix, also known as a null matrix, is a matrix whose elements
are all zeros.
UPPER TRIANGLE MATRIX - Upper triangular matrices are square matrices with all zeros
below the principal diagonal.
Ex: A row matrix of order 1x4.
LOWER TRIANGLE MATRIX - Lower triangular matrices are square matrices with zero entries
above the primary diagonal.
