In this lecture you will learn Basic Matrix Concepts. Professor Fraser begins with What is a Matrix and covers elementary terms such as Rectangular Array, Element, and Dimensions. Then you will cover Special Matrices such as the Square Matrix, Zero Matrix, and Equal Matrix.
A matrix is a
rectangular array of variables or constants. Entries of the matrix
are called elements. Dimensions refer to the number of rows and
Matrices are equal
if and only if they have the same dimensions and their corresponding
elements are identical.
