174 Chapter 3 Matrix Algebra and Applications
Introduction
We used matrices in Chapter 2 simply to organize our work. It is time we examined them
as interesting objects in their own right. There is much that we can do with matrices
besides row operations: We can add, subtract, multiply, and even, in a sense, “divide”
matrices. We use these operations to study game theory and input-output models in this
chapter, and Markov chains in a later chapter.
Many calculators, electronic spreadsheets, and other computer programs can do
these matrix operations, which is a big help in doing calculations. However, we need to
know how these operations are defined to see why they are useful and to understand
which to use in any particular application.
3.1 Matrix Addition and Scalar Multiplication
Let’s start by formally defining what a matrix is and introducing some basic terms.
Matrix, Dimension, and Entries
An m×nmatrixAis a rectangular array of real numbers with m rows and n columns.
We refer to m and n as the dimensions of the matrix. The numbers that appear in the ma-
...
trix are called its entries. We customarily use capital letters A, B, C, for the names of
matrices.
quick Examples
A= 2012×3
1. 33 −22 0 is a matrix because it has 2 rows and 3 columns.
23
10 44
B = 4×2
2. is a matrix because it has 4 rows and 2 columns.
−13
83
−22
The entries of A are 2, 0, 1, 33, , and 0. The entries of B are the numbers 2, 3, 10,
−1
44, , 3, 8, and 3.
Hint:Remember that the number of rows is given first and the number of columns second.
An easy way to remember this is to think of the acronym “RC” for “Row then Column.”
Referring to the Entries of a Matrix
There is a systematic way of referring to particular entries in a matrix. If i and j are num-
bers, then the entry in the ith row and jth column of the matrix A is called the ijth entry
a A
of A. We usually write this entry as ij or ij. (If the matrix was called B, we would
ij b B
write its th entry as ij or ij.) Notice that this follows the “RC” convention: The row
number is specified first and the column number second.
quick Example
A= 201
With 33 −22 0 ,
a13 = 1 First row, third column
a21 = 33 Second row, first column

Row Matrix, Column Matrix, and Square Matrix
A matrix with a single row is called a row matrix, or row vector. A matrix with a sin-
gle column is called a column matrix or column vector.A matrix with the same num-
ber of rows as columns is called a square matrix.

Matrix Addition and Subtraction
The first matrix operations we discuss are matrix addition and subtraction. The rules for
these operations are simple.
Matrix Addition and Subtraction
Two matrices can be added (or subtracted) if and only if they have the same dimensions.
To add (or subtract) two matrices of the same dimensions, we add (or subtract) the cor-
responding entries. More formally, if A and B are m × n matrices, then A + B and
A−B m×n
are the matrices whose entries are given by:
(A+B) = A +B ij ij
ij ij ij th entry of the sum = sum of the th entries
(A−B) = A −B ij ij
ij ij ij th entry of the difference = difference of the th entries
