Unit 03 Matrix Arithmetic IT Disicipline ITD 1111 Discrete Mathematics & Statistics STDTLP 2 3 Matrix Arithmetic 3.1 Introduction A matrix is a set of real or complex numbers (or elements) arranged in rows and columns to form a rectangular array. A matrix having m rows and n columns is an m x n (read ‘m by n’or ‘m cross n’) matrix and is referred to as having order m x n. A matrix can be represented explicitly by enclosing the array within large square brackets.

Example 3.2-1a 11 a 12 a 13 a 14 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 24 a 31 a 32 a 33 a 34 can be denoted by [a ij ] or by A. Similarly, x 1 x 2 can be denoted by [x i ] or by X. x 3

Unit 03 Matrix Arithmetic IT Disicipline ITD 1111 Discrete Mathematics & Statistics STDTLP Addition and Subtraction of Matrices Only matrices of the same order can be added or subtracted. The result from the sum or difference is then determined by adding or subtracting the corresponding elements. Example3.4-1
