1. Introduction to Matrices

• A way to organize and present data simply.
• Example: students' marks.
• Useful for large computations in computers.

2. Order of Matrices

• Order = (row x column).
• Example: a 2x3 matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns.

3. Types of Matrices

• Row Matrix
• Column Matrix
• Square Matrix
• Diagonal Matrix
• Scalar Matrix
• Identity Matrix
• Zero Matrix

4. Equality of Matrices

• A and B are equal if and only if all their corresponding elements are the same.

5. Operations on Matrices

• Addition: Adding matrices of the same order.
• Subtraction: Subtracting matrices of the same order.
• Multiplication:
  • Using row and column matrices.
  • Rule: first row, then column.

6. Transposing

• The process of turning rows into columns.
• Example: transpose a 3x2 matrix to a 2x3 matrix.

7. Symmetric and Skew-Symmetric Matrices

• Symmetric: A^T = A
• Skew-Symmetric: A^T = -A
• Pay attention to diagonal elements.

8. Invertible Matrices

• Formula to find the inverse of a matrix:
  • A^(-1) = (Adj A) / (det A)
• Determinant value should not be zero.
