Matrices

13 min read

Matrix operations, the identity and determinant, inverses of 2×2 matrices, and transformations.

Matrix operations

  • Add/subtract matrices of the same size element by element.
  • Scalar multiply multiplies every element.
  • Multiply (rows × columns): the product of an m×nm\times nm×n and n×pn\times pn×p matrix is m×pm\times pm×p. Matrix multiplication is not commutative (AB≠BAAB \neq BAAB=BA in general).
