What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about matrices and basic operations on matrices. Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers or symbols. We will learn how to represent information from real situations in the form of matrices. We will also learn how to determine the order of a matrix, which helps us identify certain elements in a matrix. This chapter will provide us with the foundation to solve problems using matrices and understand their applications in various fields.
