Note on Matrices Determinans

In this lesson let me help you on matrices and determinants. Before i go more deeper on this let me help you on what is all about Matrices.

Matrices

1. A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, arranged in rows and columns.

2. Order of a matrix = Number of rows in it x Number of columns in it

3. Row matrix is a matrix with only one row.

4. Column matrix is a matrix with only one column.

5. Zero or Null matrix is a matrix in which every element is zero.

Determinants and Matrices


Matrices : A rectangular array of entries is called a Matrix. The entries may be real, complex or functions. The entries are also called as the elements of the matrix.

Determinants : Let A = [aij] be a square matrix. We can associate with the square matrix A, a determinant which is formed by exactly the same array of elements of the matrix A. A determinant formed by the same array of elements of the square matrix A is called the determinant of the square matrix
