Matrix Calculus Flashcards
Determining a minor in a matrix
Remove the elements in the target’s row and column, including the target itself
Calculate the determinant of the new matrix
Minor of a Matrix element
The determinant of the matrix that excludes the elements in the rows or columns of that element
Matrix determinant
Only applies to a square matrix
Difference ‘meaning subtracting’ of the individual products of the numbers listed diagonally from the top-left corner. When you run out of space, go to the next row and start at the first column
Starting position in a matrix
i=1, j=1
Start in the upper-left (like reading a book)
Dimensions of a matrix, and propper notation for element identity
Rows-by-columns
Referring to an individual item in a matrix
(Matrix-symbol-title)ij
Where i is rows from top and j is columns from left
Matrix addition/subtraction
Add/subtract each element to the element of that position within the other matrix
Scalar multiplication of matrices
Multiply each element within the matrix by the scalar-constant
Transposing matrices
Row 1 items fill column 1 of the new matrix and so on for each row
Writen as [matrix]^T
Size of a product matrix in Matrix Multiplication
Rows1 by columns2
Matrix multiplication
Sum of the products of the next element in matrix1 row and matrix2 column corresponding to the element location in the product matrix
Row addition
Adding an entire row of one matrix to the entire row of another matrix
Row multiplication
Multiplying an entire row of a matrix by a scalar (constant number)
Row switching
Switching the position of two rows in a matrix
Sub-matrices
The matrix that excludes all the elements within the row or column of a given position in the original matrix
Linear equations from matrices
When the formula for the value of the element in a given position is writen out, it takes the form of a linear equation (like in circuit analysis)
Square matrix
A matrix with the same number of rows as columns
