Operations for matrices

Frances675

In mathematics, matrix multiplication is the operation of multiplying two matrices, usually denoted by matrices A and B, to produce a third matrix C = AB. Matrix multiplication is associative, meaning that the order of matrix multiplication does not affect the result: A(BC) = (AB)C.

The dot product is one example of a specific operation that can be performed on matrices. Just as with vectors, the dot product of two matrices is calculated by multiplying corresponding elements and then summing the results. Other specific operations that can be performed on matrices include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Additionally, matrices can be raised to a power, transposed, and inverted.

There are many specific operations that can be performed on matrices, just as there are many specific operations that can be performed on vectors. One common operation is the dot product, which can be used to calculate the product of two vectors. Another common operation is matrix multiplication, which can be used to calculate the product of two matrices.
