Notes

I am leaving most of the basics for now and will concentrate on the parts students normally have problems with

Learning Objectives (Syllabus)

  • understand the terms null matrix, identity matrix, diagonal matrix, and symmetric matrix
  • use the condition for the equality of two matrices
  • carry out matrix addition, matrix subtraction, scalar multiplication and matrix multiplication for matrices with at most three rows and three columns
  • find the minors, cofactors, determinants, and adjoints of 2\times2 and 3\times3 matrices
  • find the inverses of 2\times2 and 3\times3 non-singular matrices
  • use the result, for non-singular matrices, that \left(\mathbf{AB}\right)^{-1}=\mathbf{B}^{-1}\mathbf{A}^{-1}
  • solve problems involving the use of a matrix equation

Prior Knowledge

  • Basic arithmetic & algebra
