Matrices in MATLAB

A matrix is a two-dimensional array of real or complex numbers. Linear algebra defines many matrix operations that are directly supported by MATLAB. Linear algebra includes matrix arithmetic, linear equations, eigenvalues, singular values, and matrix factorizations.

This section describes these matrix operations:

• Creation
• Addition and subtraction
• Vector products
• Matrix multiplication

It also describes the MATLAB functions you use to produce:

• An identity matrix
• The Knonecker Tensor product of two matrices
• Vector and matrix norms
