Diagonal entries
Diagonal matrix : a square matrix
whose nondiagonal entries are zero.
Recall: Two matrices are equal

the matrices are the same size and
their corresponding entries are equal.
Theorem 1
Let A, B, and C be matrices of the same size, and let r and
s be scalars.
A B  B  A
( A  B)  C  A  ( B  C )
r ( A  B )  rA  rB
(r  s ) A  rA  sA
A0  A
r ( sA)  ( rs ) A

Matrix Multiplication
If A is an m  n matrix and B is an n  p matrix
with columns b1,b2 ,L ,b p , then the product
AB is the m  p matrix whose columns are A b1,K ,Ab p

Row-Column Rule for Computing AB: If the product
AB is defined, then the entry in row i and column j of AB
is the sum of the products of corresponding entries
from row i of A and column j of B.

Properties of Matrix Multiplication
A( BC )  ( AB)C
A( B  C )  AB  AC
( B  C ) A  BA  CA
r ( AB)  (rA) B  A(rB ) for any scalar r
I m A  A  AI n for m  n matrix A
In general the followings are NOT true.
AB  BA
If AB  AC then B  C
If AB  0 then A  0 or B  0
Defn: Given an m×n matrix A, the transpose of A is
the n×m matrix, denoted by AT, whose columns are
formed from the corresponding rows of A.
A  (aij )  AT  (a ji )
