Matrix Multiplication

Matrix multiplication involves combining two matrices to produce a third matrix, where each element is derived from the dot product of corresponding rows and columns. The dot product is a fundamental operation that calculates the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of two sequences of numbers.

Overview

Matrix multiplication and the dot product are fundamental concepts in linear algebra. Matrix multiplication allows us to combine two matrices to create a new matrix, which is essential in various applications like computer graphics and data analysis. The dot product, on the other hand, provides a wa...

Key Terms

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

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

Vector
A one-dimensional array of numbers, representing a point in space.

Example: A vector in 3D space can be represented as (x, y, z).

Dot Product
An operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers and returns a single number.

Example: The dot product of (1, 2, 3) and (4, 5, 6) is 1*4 + 2*5 + 3*6 = 32.

Scalar
A single number, often used to represent magnitude.

Example: Temperature can be represented as a scalar value, like 30 degrees.

Transpose
The operation of swapping the rows and columns of a matrix.

Example: The transpose of matrix [[1, 2], [3, 4]] is [[1, 3], [2, 4]].

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

Example: The 2x2 identity matrix is [[1, 0], [0, 1]].
