2.1 - Matrix Operations

•Denoting a general matrix A of m rows and n columns

Adding matrices, multiplying by scalars

Example:



•So matrix addition and scalar multiplication are component‐wise.
•Exercise: Write a sum of two general matrices A, B

Properties of Addition & Scalar Mult

• If A, B, C are the same size, r, s any scalars,
then
• A+ B=B+ A
• (A+ B) +C=A+ (B+C)
• A+0=A if 0 is the matrix of the same size, consisting
of all 0’s
•Other facts on p 108, Th 1

How to write a proof of a matrix fact

•Commutative property (A+ B=B+ A)


Matrix Multiplication

• We have already seen when we can multiply AB.
• Review how it works


Matrix Multiplication – General Case

•Use the columns of B
(In text)

•General rule (without columns) – p 111

Computing a specific row/column of a product
