Matrix Operations Explained

Matrix Addition

Add corresponding elements of two matrices with same dimensions: A + B = [aᵢⱼ + bᵢⱼ]

Matrix Multiplication

Multiply matrices where columns of A equal rows of B: (AB)ᵢⱼ = Σ aᵢₖ × bₖⱼ

Determinant

Scalar value from square matrix representing scaling factor and invertibility.

Inverse Matrix

A⁻¹ such that A × A⁻¹ = I (identity matrix). Only exists if det(A) ≠ 0.

Transpose

Flip matrix over its diagonal: (Aᵀ)ᵢⱼ = Aⱼᵢ. Rows become columns.

Scalar Multiplication

Multiply every element by a scalar: kA = [k × aᵢⱼ]. Scales the matrix.
