1. What Is Matrix Calculation?

Matrix calculation involves mathematical operations performed on matrices - rectangular arrays of numbers arranged in rows and columns. These operations are fundamental in linear algebra and have applications in computer graphics, engineering, physics, and data science.

2. How To Perform Matrix Operations

Matrix operations follow specific rules depending on the operation type. The three main operations are:

Addition: Add corresponding elements (matrices must be same size)
Multiplication: Dot product of rows and columns
Determinant: Scalar value representing matrix properties

3. Matrix Addition

For two matrices A and B of the same dimensions:

\[ A + B = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11}+b_{11} & a_{12}+b_{12} \\ a_{21}+b_{21} & a_{22}+b_{22} \end{bmatrix} \]

Example: If A = [1 2; 3 4] and B = [5 6; 7 8], then A+B = [6 8; 10 12]

4. Matrix Multiplication

For matrices A (m×n) and B (n×p), the product C = A×B is:

\[ c_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{ik} \times b_{kj} \]

Example (2×2): C₁₁ = a₁₁×b₁₁ + a₁₂×b₂₁, C₁₂ = a₁₁×b₁₂ + a₁₂×b₂₂

5. Matrix Determinant

For a 2×2 matrix:

\[ \det(A) = a_{11} \times a_{22} - a_{12} \times a_{21} \]

The determinant indicates whether a matrix is invertible (non-zero determinant) and relates to the scaling factor of the linear transformation represented by the matrix.
