Elements and Dimensions

🠶 Element – each value in a matrix

🠶 Dimension - Number of rows by the number of columns of a matrix

Example

🠶 a) What is the dimension of A? = 3 x 4 matrix

🠶 b) What is the third column of A? =

🠶 c) What is the second row of A? =

🠶 d) What is the element of A in the (3, 2)th position? = 1

🠶 Matrix Addition

🠶 The sum of two matrices of the same size is obtained by adding elements in the
corresponding positions. Matrices of different sizes cannot be added, because such
matrices will not both have entries in some of their positions.

🠶 Matrix Products
🠶 A product of two matrices is defined only when the number of columns in the first matrix equals
the number of rows of the second matrix.

Zero-One Matrices

🠶 A matrix all of whose entries are either 0 or 1 is called a zero–one matrix.

🠶 Join and Meet of Zero-One matrices
🠶 Find the join and meet of the zero–one matrices

🠶 The Join of A and B is

🠶 The Meet of A and B is

Example
 Boolean Product

🠶 Find the Boolean product of A and B, where

🠶 The Boolean product A ⊙ B is
