Matrices:

Definition of a Matrix:

A rectangular array of entries is called a Matrix. The entries may be real, complex or functions.
The entries are also called as the elements of the matrix.
The rectangular array of entries are enclosed in an ordinary bracket or in square bracket. Matrices are denoted by capital letters.There are several types of matrices. They are:

* Row matrix.
* Column matrix.
* Zero matrix or null matrix.
* Square matrix.
* Diagonal matrix.
* Unit matrix.
Let us now learn the uses of matrices,

* Matrices are used in computer animation for plotting the diagrams and For compressing and transforming computer graphics it is used.
* It is very useful for scientists for recording the data from their experiments and for engineers, they are recorded Math reports. In architecture also, it is used.
* Matrices are used in solving partial differential equations like designing airplanes or cars.
* It is also used to analyze the structure of the universe.
* In architecture, Matrices are used for computing the measurements.
* For example, Like our problems of homework, It is very useful to figure out things like price and quantity.
* We can use matrices to manipulate colors in computer graphics and animation. By varying the red, green, and blue colors we can manipulate. Transformation of matrix is also used in computer graphics that means it is very helpful for maintaining the objects that is rotating, transform a movie clip or bitmap.
