A matrix is, by definition, a rectangular array of numeric or algebraic quantities which are subject to mathematical operations. Matrices can be defined in terms of their dimensions (number of rows and columns). Let us take a look at a matrix with 4 rows and 3 columns (we denote it as a 4\u00d73 matrix and call it <\/span>A<\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/xQGIhosECvvBBq6QZ7DiPv1ikzEVvGDVdK2tJBSI5Sf2XIK7Npr_ft6zv3q7RM-mDDDXAukH4iuooIZWHdjuTweeQ3yaRVN22iLkoZniBAevVJtrmDWbaCl48NeTzwSl4RxToFI\")

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMatrices are used to represent complicated or time-consuming mathematical operations. A single matrix can hold an infinite number of calculations, which can then be applied to a number, vector, or another matrix. There are several operations that can be done on matrices, including addition, multiplication and inverse calculation; some of which will be discussed shortly. Operations done on one matrix can be transferred to another matrix simply by concatenating the two (by matrix multiplication).
