Matrices and Linear Algebra
2.1 Basics
Definition 2.1.1. A matrix is an m×n array of scalars from a given field
F. The individual values in the matrix are called entries.
Examples. ^ ^
A= 213 B= 12
−124 34
The size of the array is–written as m×n,where
m×n

2.1. BASICS 35
Definition 2.1.2. The set of all m × n matrices is denoted by M (F),
m,n
where F is the underlying field (usually R or C). In the case where m = n
we write M (F) to denote the matrices of size n×n.
n
Theorem 2.1.1. M is a vector space with basis given by E , 1 ≤ i ≤
m,n ij
m, 1≤j≤n.
Equality, Addition, Multiplication
Definition 2.1.3. Two matrices A and B are equal if and only if they have
thesamesizeand
a =b all i, j.
ij ij
Definition 2.1.4. If A is any matrix and α ∈ F then the scalar multipli-
cation B = αA is defined by
b =αa all i, j.
ij ij
Definition 2.1.5. If A and B are matrices of the same size then the sum
AandB is defined by C = A+B,where
c =a +b all i, j
ij ij ij
Wecan also compute the difference D = A−B by summing A and (−1)B
D=A−B=A+(−1)B.
matrix subtraction.
Matrix addition “inherits” many properties from the field F.
Theorem 2.1.2. If A,B,C ∈ M (F) and α,β ∈ F,then
m,n
(1) A+B=B+A commutivity
(2) A+(B+C)=(A+B)+C associativity
(3) α(A+B)=αA+αB distributivity of a scalar
(4) If B =0(a matrix of all zeros) then
A+B=A+0=A
(4) (α+β)A=αA+βA

(5) α(βA)=αβA
(6) 0A =0
(7) α0=0.
Definition 2.1.6. If x and y ∈ R ,

x=(x ...x )
1 n
y =(y ...y ).
1 n
Then the scalar or dot product of x and y is given by
n
x,yX = 3x y .
i i
i=1
Remark 2.1.1. (i) Alternate notation for the scalar product: x,yX = x·y.
(ii) The dot product is defined only for vectors of the same length.
Example 2.1.1. Let x =(1,0,3,−1) and y =(0,2,−1,2) then x,yX =
1(0) +0(2)+3(−1)−1(2) = −5.
