A matrix having m rows and n columns is said to be of order m x n
The m x n matrix O = [0] consisting entirely of zeros is the zero matrix.
Matrix O is the additive identity for the set of all m x n matrices, because A + O = A
Matrix Multiplication- When multiplying two matrices you multiply the entries of the rows of one matrix by the entries in the columns of the other, and add to get the new entry.
The transpose of a matrix is formed by interchanging the rows and columns of that matrix.
