Document Summary
Textbook: bittinger, brandt, quintanilla calculus for life sciences, 1e. Not too many years ago the study of matrices was left primarily to mathematicians. Today with advent of computers capable of performing calculations in seconds, matrix theory has become one of the most widely applied branches of mathematics. Matrices are being used to solve systems of equations in business and economics, to investigate stochastic processes in social and biological sciences and help to predict transportation needs. D1 a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers consisting of m horizontal rows and n vertical columns. D2 the numbers in the array are called the entries of a matrix. D3 if matrix has m rows and n columns it is called a matrix of order m n. 1 i m, 1 j n where. 13 m n is a row matrix if m=1: a m n is a column matrix if n=1.
