Definition: (a) A matrix [latex]A[/latex] is an [latex]m\times n[/latex] rectangular array of elements, arranged in [latex]m[/latex] rows and [latex]n[/latex] columns, denoted 

\[ A=(a_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cccc} a_{11} & a_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n}\\ a_{21} & a_{22}\\ \vdots & \vdots\\ a_{m1} & a_{m2} & \cdots & a_{mn} \end{array}\right]. \]

(b) The transpose of [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex]} is [latex]A^{T}=(a_{ji}).[/latex]

(c) The conjugate of [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] is [latex]A=(\overline{a_{ij}})[/latex].

(d) A square matrix [latex]A[/latex] has the same number of rows and columns. That is, [latex]A[/latex] is [latex]n\times n[/latex]. 

(e) A column vector [latex]\overrightarrow{x}[/latex] is an [latex]n\times1[/latex] matrix.

(f) A row vector [latex]\overrightarrow{x}[/latex] is an [latex]1\times n[/latex] matrix.

(g) The zero matrix is defined to be 0 = (0), all entries are zero.

(h) Two matrices [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] and [latex]B=(b_{ij})[/latex] are equal if [latex]a_{ij}=b_{ij}[/latex] for all [latex]i[/latex] and [latex]j[/latex]. 

 

 

Example 1: Find [latex]A^{T}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{A}[/latex] where [latex]A=(a_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2-i & 1-i\\ -3+\sqrt{3}i & 4+2i \end{array}\right].[/latex]

 

 

 

Exercise 1: Find [latex]A^{T}[/latex] and [latex]\overline{A}[/latex] where [latex]A=(a_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 4+2i & 3-i\\ -1-3i & 1+i\end{array}\right].[/latex]

 

 

 

Definition: (a) The product of a matrix [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] and a constant [latex]k[/latex] is defined to be [latex]kA=(ka_{ij}).[/latex]

(b) The  sum of two [latex]m\times n[/latex] matrices [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] and [latex]B=(b_{ij})[/latex] is defined to be [latex]A+B=(a_{ij}+b_{ij}).[/latex]

(c) The difference of two [latex]m\times n[/latex] matrices [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] and [latex]B=(b_{ij})[/latex] is defined to be [latex]A-B=(a_{ij}-b_{ij}).[/latex]

(d) The product of an [latex]m\times n[/latex] matrix [latex]A=(a_{ij})[/latex] and an [latex]n\times r[/latex] matrix [latex]B=(b_{ij})[/latex] is defined to be the matrix

[latex]C=(c_{ij})[/latex], where 

\[c_{ij}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{ik}b_{kj}.\]

 

 

 

Example 2: Find [latex]2A-B[/latex], [latex]\text{AB}[/latex], and [latex]BA[/latex] where [latex]A=(a_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2-i & 1-i\\ -3+3i & 4+2i \end{array}\right][/latex] and [latex]B=(b_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1+i & -2-3i\\ 3-i & 2+4i \end{array}\right][/latex].

 

 

 

Exercise 2: Find [latex]A-3B[/latex], [latex]\text{AB}[/latex], and [latex]BA[/latex] where [latex]A=(a_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 4+2i & 3-i\\ -1-3i & 1+i\end{array}\right][/latex] and [latex]B=(b_{ij})=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1-i & 2+3i\\ 1+i & 1-2i \end{array}\right].[/latex]

 

 

 

Definition: (a) The length of an [latex]1\times n[/latex] vector [latex]\overrightarrow{x}=(x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n})[/latex] is defined as [latex]\sqrt{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+...+x_{n}^{2}}[/latex].

(b) The multiplicative identity matrix [latex]I[/latex] is an [latex]n\times n[/latex] matrix given by

\[ I=\left[\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0\\ 0 & 1 & \cdots &0 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots &0 \\ 0 & 0 & \cdots & 1 \end{array}\right]. \]

(c) For any square matrix [latex]A[/latex], it follows that [latex]AI=IA=A[/latex].

(d) A square matrix [latex]A[/latex] is nonsingular, or invertible, if there exists a matrix [latex]B[/latex] such that that [latex]AB=BA=I[/latex].

Otherwise [latex]A[/latex] is singular. The matrix [latex]B[/latex], if it exists, is unique and is denoted by [latex]A^{-1}[/latex] and is called the inverse of [latex]A[/latex].

(e) The determinate of [latex]2\times2[/latex] matrix [latex]A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b\\ c & d \end{array}\right][/latex] is [latex]ad-bc[/latex] which denoted as [latex]\text{det}A=ad-bc[/latex].

(f) The inverse of the [latex]2\times2[/latex] matrix [latex]\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b\\ c & d \end{array}\right][/latex] is 

\[\frac{1}{ad-bc}\left[\begin{array}{cc} d & -b\\ -c & a \end{array}\right].\]
