Overview

Matrix multiplication is a fundamental operation in linear algebra that combines two matrices to produce a new matrix. It requires understanding the dimensions of the matrices involved and follows specific rules for calculating the product. The dot product method is commonly used, where each entry i...

Key Terms

Matrix
A rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.

Example: A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]

Dimension
The size of a matrix defined by the number of rows and columns.

Example: A 2x3 matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns.

Dot Product
A scalar product of two vectors, calculated by multiplying corresponding entries and summing them.

Example: For vectors [1, 2] and [3, 4], the dot product is 1*3 + 2*4 = 11.

Associative Property
A property stating that the grouping of matrices does not affect the product.

Example: (AB)C = A(BC)

Identity Matrix
A square matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Example: I = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]

Row
A horizontal line of elements in a matrix.

Example: In matrix A, the first row is [1, 2].
