There is a matrix product compatible with any matrix sizes: the Kronecker product. Matrix multiplication follows the same algorithm as multiplying vectors. That is, multiply the first element of row $ i $ of $ M_1 $ by the first element of column $ j $ of $ M_2 $, then the second element of row $ i $ of $ M_1 $ by the second element of the column $ j $ of $ M_2 $, and so on, note the sum of the multiplications obtained, it is the value of the scalar product, therefore of the element in position $ i $ and column $ j $ in $ M_3 $. To calculate the value of the element of the matrix $ M_3 $ in position $ i $ and column $ j $, extract the row $ i $ from the matrix $ M_1 $ and the row $ j $ from the matrix $ M_2 $ and calculate their dot product. The matrix product consists in carrying out additions and multiplications according to the positions of the elements in the matrices $ M_1 $ and $ M_2 $. Hence the dimension of the resultant matrix would be 2 × 1.The multiplication of 2 matrices $ M_1 $ and $ M_2 $ forms a result matrix $ M_3 $. Solution: Here, the number of columns in the first matrix is the same as the number of rows in the second matrix. Solution: Here, the dimension of both the matrices is same, so the resultant matrix will also have the same dimension. Then, moving across the top row in the first matrix and down the first column in the second matrix, we multiply the -1 by the 1.Then, moving across the top row in the first matrix and down the first column in the second matrix, we multiply 2 by 6.Finally we add the results of those three multiplications to get the element a 11 in the result matrix. (That's the element in the first row and the first column of the resultant matrix.) The first thing to do is to multiply the 0 in the first matrix by the 3 in the second matrix. To start with, we'll concentrate on working out the first element of the resultant matrix, element a 11. Hence the dimension of the resultant matrix would be 2 × 2.
Then the product of the row and the column is the 1 × 1 matrix , r n, and the entries in the column c 1, c 2. By the rule above, the product is a 1 × 1 matrix in other words, a single number.įirst, let's name the entries in the row r 1, r 2. The first is just a single row, and the second is a single column.
#Matrix multiplication how to
We'll start by showing how to multiply a 1 × n matrix by an n × 1 matrix.
Matrix multiplication is NOT commutative. If neither A nor B is an identity matrix, AB ≠ BA. The definition of matrix multiplication indicates a row-by-column multiplication, where the entries in the i th row of A are multiplied by the corresponding entries in the j th column of B and then adding the results. For instance, the entry a 23 is the entry in the second row and third column.) (The entry in the i th row and j th column is denoted by the double subscript notation a i j, b i j, and c i j. If A = is an m × n matrix and B = is an n × p matrix, the product AB is an m × p matrix.ĪB =, where c i j = a i 1 b 1 j + a i 2 b 2 j+ … + a in b n j. We can only multiply two matrices if their dimensions are compatible, which means the number of columns in the first matrix is the same as the number of rows in the second matrix.
