Asking why matrix multiplication isn't just componentwise multiplication is an excellent question: in fact, componentwise multiplication is in some sense the most "natural" generalization of real …

I think this is wrong. You can't partition both of them same way. If you partition after x rows in first matrix , you've to partition after x columns (not rows ) in the second matrix. Otherwise while …

5 A particular case when orthogonal matrices commute. Orthogonal matrices are used in geometric operations as rotation matrices and therefore if the rotation axes (invariant …

My question is intact no matter whether matrix multiplication was done this way only after it was used as representation of composition of transformations, or whether, on the contrary, matrix …

Jan 11, 2018 · Matrix multiplication is associative, so you can do it in whichever order you like. You can prove it by writing the matrix multiply in summation notation each way and seeing …

May 28, 2011 · 7 Matrix multiplication — more specifically, powers of a given matrix A — are a useful tool in graph theory, where the matrix in question is the adjacency matrix of a graph or a …

Sep 8, 2015 · Matrix multiplication is defined so that it works right to left, just like function composition. This allows matrices to represent linear transformations more intuitively. It's also …
