Names for Matrices

Roman Column



The elements of a matrix also have names, usually a lower-case letter the same as the matrix name, with the position of the element written as a subscript. So, for example, the 3x3 matrix A might be written as:

Three by Three Matrix



(Thought Question:) If two matrices contain the same values, but in different locations, are the matrices equal?
