This chapter focuses on organizing data into matrices, which are rectangular arrays of numbers represented within brackets. Each matrix is designated by a capital letter and classified by its dimensions, such as rows and columns (e.g., matrix A has 2 rows and 3 columns, denoted as A2x3). It further explains matrix elements, identified by lowercase letters with subscripts indicating their row and column position (e.g., g12 refers to the element in the first row and second column). Learn how to identify matrix elements and their dimensions through practical examples.
