Matrix Multiplication and Coordinate Systems

1. Matrix Multiplication

A matrix multiplication is a production of a new matrix from a pair of matrices.

Matrices can only multiply if the number of columns for the first matrix equals the number of rows for the second matrix.

For example

Multiplying AB

A ---> 3x2 matrix (3 is the # of rows, and 2 is the # of columns)

B ---> 2x3 matrix (2 is the # of rows, and 3 is the # of columns)

THEY DO CAN MULTIPLY!

Abstract algebra continues the conceptual developments of linear algebra, on an even grander scale.
