Matrices are widely used in engineering applications, such
as structural analysis, electrical circuit analysis, and control
systems. Engineers use matrices to solve systems of linear
equations, model complex systems, and analyze the
behavior of physical systems.
Matrix
If the number of row (m) and the number of column (n) are
equal, then the matrix is called square matrix. A matrix is said to
be real or complex matrix accordingly as its elements are real
or complex numbers.
while this one is a 3 x 2 matrix
Equality of matrices: Two matrices A and B are
equal if and only if they have the same order and
their corresponding elements are equal.
Every square matrix consisting of scalars (for example, real numbers) has
a determinant, which is also a scalar.
Symbol
The determinant of a matrix is represented by two vertical lines or simply
by writing det and writing the matrix name. eg. |A|, det(A), det A
