Types Of Matrices
Rectangular Matrix
Matrix is a rectangular matric is m ≠ n

Types Of Matrices
Square Matrix
Matrix is square matrix id m = n
E.g.-
The principal or main diagonal of a square matrix is
composed of all elements a
ij
for which i = j

Types Of Matrices
Scalar matrix
A diagonal matrix whose main diagonal elements are equal
to the same scalar
A scalar is defined as a single number or constant
E.g.-
0 0 1
0 1 0
1 0 0
Types Of Matrices
Unit or Identity matrix – I
A diagonal matrix with ones on the main diagonal
E.g.-
0 1
1 0
Types Of Matrices
Upper triangular matrix
A square matrix whose elements below the main diagonal
are all zero
E.g.-
Types Of Matrices
Lower triangular matrix
A square matrix whose elements above the main diagonal
are all zero
E.g.-
5 2 3
2 1 0
1 0 0
Types Of Matrices
Comparable Matrix
Two matrix A=[a
ij
]
mxn
and B=[b
ij
]
qxr
are comparable only when they are
are of same order i.e only when m= q and n=r.
E.g.- A= B=
A and B are comparable as they are of same order.

Types Of Matrices
Equality Of Matrices
Two matrices are said to be equal only when all corresponding elements are equal
Therefore their size or dimensions are equal as well
E.g.-
A =
B =
A = B

Operation of Matrices
Scalar Multiplication of Matrices
Matrices can be multiplied by a scalar (constant or
single element)
Let k be a scalar quantity; then
kA = Ak
Ex. If k=4 and
Operation of Matrices
Properties:
k ( A + B ) = k A + k B
(k + g) A = k A + g A
k( AB ) = (k A ) B = A (k) B
k(g A ) = (kg) A
