arranged in p horizontal rows, and q vertical columns is called a p × q series-matrix, and will be denoted by the letter A.

If all the quantities ah k are multiplied by C, the resulting matrix will be denoted by CA.

If the roles of the horizontal rows and vertical columns be intercharged, we obtain a q × p series matrix, which will be known as the transposed matrix of A, and will be denoted by Ā.

Ā = | a₁₁ ...... ap 1 |

| a1 q ...... ap q |

If we have a second p × q series matrix B,
