Matrix Multiplication and Coordinate Systems
1. Matrix Multiplication
A matrix multiplication is the production of a new matrix from a pair of matrices.
Matrices can only multiply if the number of columns for the first matrix equals the number of rows for the second matrix.
For example
Multiplying AB
A ---> 3x2 matrix (3 is the # of rows, and 2 is the # of columns)
B ---> 2x3 matrix (2 is the # of rows, and 3 is the # of columns)
THEY DO CAN MULTIPLY!
The new matrix will have the rows of the first matrix and the columns of the second matrix.
For example
AB = C
A ---> "m x p"
B ---> "p x n"
Then C will be "m x n"
