Introduction matrices and  vectors 
• A matrix is defined as an array of numbers (or 
algebraic symbols) set out in rows and columns.    4  7  2    3  5  5    𝐴  =12  9  5    2  1  3    1  1  2  7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   6     4    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020   
Matrices that have the same order can be added 
together, or subtracted. The addition, or 
subtraction, is performed on each of the  corresponding elements.  7/29/2020  7    
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra  
Introduction matrices and  vectors 
• The size of a matrix is called its ‘order’. 
(number of rows) × (number of columns)  
• Matrices with only one column or row  are known as vectors   • Row vector  • Column vector   7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   8     5    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020    • Example 1:   • If 𝐴  =12  30 and B =7 35  what is A-B    8  154  8  • Example 2:  
• The number of units of a product sold by a retailer for 
the last 2 weeks are shown in matrix A below, the 
columns represent weeks and the rows correspond to 
the two different shop units that sold them.    12  30  𝐴  =    8  15 
• If each item sells for £4, derive a matrix for total sales 
revenue for this retailer for these two shop units over  this two-week period.    7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   9  
Basic principles of matrix  multiplication 
• If one matrix is multiplied by another matrix, the 
basic rule is to multiply elements along the rows 
of the first matrix by the corresponding elements 
down the columns of the second matrix.    6    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020    7/29/2020

Matrix multiplication –  the general case 
• The general m × n matrix with any number of rows 
m and columns n can be written as  𝑎11 𝑎12 … 𝑎1𝑛    𝐴  =𝑎21 𝑎22 … 𝑎1𝑛   ⋮  ⋮  ⋮ ⋮   
𝑎𝑚1 𝑎𝑚2 … 𝑎1𝑛 
• a11 = element in row 1, column 1 
• a12 = element in row 1, column 2 
• a1n = element in row 1, column n  
• amn = element in row m, column n      7    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020

Matrix inverse and the solution 
of simultaneous equations 
• The derivation of the matrix inverse A−1 
• Since the number of unknown variables 
must equal the number of equations the 
matrix of coefficients A must be square 
(the number of rows equals the number of  columns). 
• Identity matrix  is any square matrix with 
each element along the diagonal being    8    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020   
equal to 1 and with all other elements  being zero.  7/29/2020

Matrix inverse and the solution 
of simultaneous equations 
• To actually find the inverse of a matrix, 
we first need to consider some special   concepts  associated with 
square matrices:   • The Determinant  • Minors  • Cofactors    10    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020    • The Adjoint Matrix  7/29/2020

Minors, cofactors, and the   Laplace expansion  • Cofactors  
• A cofactor is the same as a minor, except that its 
sign is determined by the row and column that it  corresponds to. 
• 𝐶12 = (−1)3 𝑎𝑎2131 𝑎𝑎2333 =(−1) 𝑎𝑎2131 𝑎𝑎2333  • Examples   
• Find the cofactor 𝐶22 of the matrix    8 2 3  𝐴= 1 9 4 4 3  6 
Minors, cofactors, and the   Laplace expansion 
• The Laplace expansion  
• For matrices of any order n, using the Laplace 
expansion, the determinant can specified as 
𝐴 = 𝑖,𝑗=𝑛𝑖,𝑗=1 𝑎𝑖𝑗 𝐶𝑖𝑗  • Example 
• Use the Laplace expansion to find the determinant of  matrix  7/29/2020

B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   21   The transpose matrix  • Transpose of a matrix: AT 
• The rows and columns are swapped around 
• Row 1 becomes column 1 and column 1 
becomes row 1 • For example:    5 20    𝐴 =16 9    12 6    12    𝐴𝑇 =5  16 6    20  9  The cofactor matrix 
• If we replace every element in a matrix by its 
corresponding cofactor then we get the 
cofactor matrix, usually denoted by C.  • For example:  2 4 3  25 −15 −12 −14  𝐴=   then C 3 5 0 =    −2 12    4  2 5  −15 9  −2

B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   25   Cramer’s rule 
• Cramer’s rule says that the value of any one of 
the unknown variables xi can be found by 
substituting the vector of constant values b for 
the i th column of matrix A and then dividing the 
determinant of this new matrix by the 
determinant of the original A matrix.  • Cramer’s rule gives:  𝐴𝑖  𝑥𝑖 =  𝐴  Example 
• Find x1 and x2 using Cramer’s rule from the 
following set of simultaneous equations  7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   26     17    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020    5x1 + 0 .4 x2 = 12    18    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020    3x1 + 3x2 = 21  7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   27   The Hessian matrix 
• The Hessian will always be a square matrix with 
equal numbers of rows and columns. 
• For the two variable function f(x,y) the Hessian  matrix will be  𝑓𝑥𝑥  𝑓𝑥𝑦  𝐻 =    𝑓𝑦𝑥 𝑓𝑦𝑦  7/29/2020  
B03013 – Chapter 9: Matrix algebra   28     19    lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020   
• For any 2 × 2 Hessian there will therefore only  be the  two  principal 
minors 𝐻 1 = 𝑓 𝑥𝑥 , 𝐻 2 = 𝑓𝑥𝑥  𝑓𝑥𝑦    𝑓𝑦𝑥 𝑓𝑦𝑦  • SOC for a maximum 
• |H1| < 0 and |H2| > 0  • SOC for a minimum    20
