Matrices

Matrices, in essence, are orderly setups of numbers, symbols, or expressions, organized in a pattern of rows and columns. They serve as a key instrument in the field of linear algebra and find vast applications in various domains such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. The operations that can be performed on matrices encompass addition, subtraction, multiplication, and the computation of the determinant or inverse.
