Let’s learn the different types of matrices

 

Column matrices

A column matrix only has 1 column

Example

Example

Types of matrices - Part 2

So, column matrix is of the order m × 1

We write it as

  A = [a ij ] m × 1

 

Row matrices

A row matrix only has 1 row

 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 3

So, row matrix is of the order 1 × n

We write it as

  A = [a ij ] 1 × n

 

Square matrix

A square matrix has equal number of rows & columns

 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 4

So, a square matrix is of the order m × m

We write it as

  A = [a ij ] m × m

 

Diagonal matrix

In A diagonal matrix, the non-diagonal of element are zero.

A diagonal matrix is possible only in a square matrix

 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 5

 

So, in a diagonal matrix

  • It is should be a square matrix
  • Non-diagonal elements are 0

Scalar matrix

A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix where diagonal elements are equal

 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 6

So, in a scalar matrix

  • It is a square matrix
  • Non diagonal elements are 0
  • Diagonal elements are equal

Identity matrix

An identity matrix is a diagonal matrix where all diagonal elements are 1

Types of matrices - Part 7

 

So, in a Identity matrix

  • It is a square matrix
  • Non diagonal elements are 0
  • All diagonal elements are 1

Note : An identity matrix is a scalar matrix
