Ordering a Matrix Hi. I’m calling to see if I could order a matrix, please. Why certainly.

Ordering a Matrix (I, j) denotes the element in the ith row and the

Ordering a Matrix (I, j) denotes the element in the ith row and the jth column. Best to have an example of course.

Scalar Multiple A scalar is a constant (a number). The product of a scalar and a matrix is the result of “distributing” the scalar through the matrix. Example

Multiplying Matrices First, multiplication of matrices is not commutative. Ie. ORDER MATTERS!! Second, for two matrices to be multiplied, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. In other words, matrices A and B can only be multiplied if A is an m x n matrix and B is an n x r matrix.

Multiplying Matrices (cont. ) In other words, matrices A and B can only be multiplied if A is an m x n matrix and B is an n x r matrix. Furthermore, A B will be an m x r matrix. Ie. AB will have m rows and r columns. Officially: When finding the product AB of two matrices, the entry in (i, j) of AB is the sum of the products of the corresponding elements in row i of matrix A and column j of matrix B.

Say what? When finding the product AB of two matrices, the entry in (i, j) of AB is the sum of the products of the corresponding elements in row i of matrix A and column j of matrix B. Example: Question: Does the number of columns in A equal the number of rows in B?
