Chapter 4: Matrices
Lesson 1: using Matrices to Represent
Data
 Objectives:
– Represent mathematical and real-world data in
a matrix.
– Find sums and differences of matrices and the
scalar product of a number and a matrix.
MATRIX: A rectangular
arrangement of
numbers in rows and
columns.
The ORDER of a matrix
is the number of the
rows and columns.
The ENTRIES are the
numbers in the matrix.
This order of this matrix
is a 2 x 3.

To add two matrices, they must have the same
order. To add, you simply add corresponding
entries.

To subtract two matrices, they must have the same
order. You simply subtract corresponding entries.

In matrix algebra, a real number is often called a SCALAR.
To multiply a matrix by a scalar, you multiply each entry in
the matrix by that scalar.
