This section covers fundamental operations involving matrices, including addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication. Students will learn how to perform term-by-term operations with examples illustrating the sum and difference of matrices. Additionally, the discussion includes non-term-by-term operations, particularly focusing on defining matrix multiplication and its implications in solving linear equations. Understanding these concepts lays the groundwork for representing linear systems and manipulating matrices in subsequent topics.

Today • WebAssign 2.1 • Written HW • Again, today may be longer. It is more efficient to bundle together some materials from 2.2. • Next class session will be shorter.
Preview • Look at the algebraic operations of matrices • “term-by-term” operations • Matrix Addition and Subtraction • Scalar Multiplication • Non-“term-by-term” operations • Matrix Multiplication
Matrix • If a matrix has m rows and n columns, then the size (dimension) of the matrix is said to be mxn.
Notations • Matrix
Notations • Matrix
Special Cases • Row Vector • Column Vector
Matrix Addition and Subtraction • Let A = [aij] and B = [bij] be mxn matrices • Sum: A + B = [aij+bij] • Difference: A-B = [aij-bij] • (Term-by term operations)
Scalar Multiplication Let A = [aij] be a mxn matrix and c a scalar. • Scalar Product: cA=[caij]
Matrix Multiplication • Define multiplications between 2 matrices • Not “term-by-term” operations
Motivation • The LHS of the linear equation consists of two pieces of information: • coefficients: 2, -3, and 4 • variables: x, y, and z
Motivation • Since both the coefficients and variables can be represented by vectors with the same “length”, it make sense to consider the LHS as a “product” of the corresponding vectors.
Interesting Facts • The product of mxp and pxn matrices is a mxn matrix. • In general, AB and BA are not the same even if both products are defined. • AB=0 does not necessary imply A=0 or B=0. • Square matrix with 1 in the diagonal and 0 elsewhere behaves like multiplicative identity.

Zero Matrix mxn Matrix with all zero entries
Remark It would be nice if “division” can be defined such that: (2.3) Inverse
