What Are Matrices? A Beginner’s Guide

Get started with matrices with this beginner-friendly guide, covering everything from the start/basics to Matrix Addition, Multiplication, Determinant, Adjoint and Multiplicative Inverse of a Matrix.
This section covers almost all basics like Introduction to Matrices, Types of Matrices, Addition of Matrices and its laws, and Multiplication of Matrices.

Define Matrix:

Define Matrix with explanation and examples
A matrix is a rectangular array (arrangements) of real numbers enclosed in square brackets.
OR
A matrix is an arrangement of real numbers in rows and columns enclosed in square brackets.
Each number in a matrix is called an element or entry of the matrix. Matrices are mostly denoted by capital letters. Like A, B, C etc.
Examples
A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & 3 \\ 0 & 5\end{array}\right]
C=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]
D=\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & 5 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]
In this example
2, 5,1,3 all are the elements of a matrix D.

Square Brackets میں Rows اور Columns کے ترتیب کو Matrix کہتے ہیں۔

Matrix میں موجود numbers کو Matrix کے Elements کہتے ہیں۔

Matrixکو عام طور پر Capital Letters سے ظاہر کرتے ہیں۔ جیسے A, B, C

2, 5, 1, 3تمام Matrix کے Elementsہے۔

What are Matrices

Rows and Columns of a Matrix

Rows and Columns of a Matrix

Rows of a Matrix
The rows of a matrix run horizontally.
Columns of a Matrix
The columns of a matrix run vertically.
Example
A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & 3 \\ 0 & 5\end{array}\right]
Here 2, 3 and 0, 5 are row of Matrix A. Here 2, 0 and 3, 5 are the columns of Matrix A.

2, 3اور0,5ہمارے ساتھ Matrix کے Rows ہیں۔

0, 2اور3,5ہمارے ساتھ Matrix کے Rows ہیں۔

A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 3 & 5 & 2 \\ 0 & 9 & 8 \end{array}\right] \\
In this example
3, 5, 2 and 0, 9, 8 are the rows of a matrix A. 3, 0 , 5, 9 and 2, 8 are the columns of matrix A.

3, 5, 2 اور0, 9, 8ہمارے ساتھ Matrix کے Rows ہیں۔

5, 9 , 3, 0 اور 2, 8ہمارے ساتھ Matrix کے Columns ہیں۔

Order or Dimension of a Matrix

Order or Dimension of a Matrix
The number of rows and columns that a matrix has is called order of a matrix.

Rows اور Columns کی تعداد جو Matrix میں ہوتی ہے اسے Order of a matrix کہا جا تا ہے۔

Order of a matrix is represented by:
Order \ of \ matrix =m \times n
OR
Order \ of \ matrix = m-by-n
Here “m” represents number of Rows
And “n” represents number of columns
Note:
Order of a matrix is also called dimension or size of a matrix.
Examples
D=\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & 5 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]
In this example
As No. of Rows=2 And No. of Columns=2

Rowsکی تعداد “2”ہے۔

Columns تعداد “2”ہے۔

So \ order \ is \ 2-by-2 \ (OR) \ 2 \times 2
Example # 2 A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 3 & 5 & 2 \\ 0 & 9 & 8 \end{array}\right] \\
In this example
As No. of Rows =2
And No. of Columns =3

Rowsکی تعداد “2”ہے۔

Columns تعداد “3”ہے۔

So order is 2-by-2 (OR) 2×2

Equal Matrix

Equal Matrix
When two matrices of the same order and the corresponding elements are same.

جب دو Matrix کے Order اور تمام Elements ایک جیسے ہو ۔

Example of Equal Matrix

Example of Equal Matrix
Let \ A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ u & 0\end{array}\right] \ and \ B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}v & -3 \\ 5 & w\end{array}\right] , for what values of u, \ v, \ and \ w are when A and B equal.
Solution:
A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ u & 0\end{array}\right]
B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}v & -3 \\ 5 & w\end{array}\right]
As A and B are equal. So \left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ u & 0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}v & -3 \\ 5 & w\end{array}\right]
Now compare the corresponding elements
2=v
Or
v=2
u=5
0=w
Or
w=0
