  Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The entry of a matrix A that lies in the i -th row and the j-th column is called the i,j entry or (i,j)-th entry of A.
The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A; this is the same as the dimension of the space generated by the rows of A, and also the same as the dimension of the space generated by the columns of A.
The trace of a square matrix is the sum of its diagonal entries, which equals the sum of its n eigenvalues.

 Rank (matrix theory)
In linear algebra, the column rank (row rank respectively) of a matrix A with entries in some field is defined to be the maximal number of columns (rows respectively) of A which are linearly independent.
The maximal number of linearly independent columns of the m-by-n matrix A with entries in the field F is equal to the dimension of the column space of A (the column space being the subspace of F
The rank of a matrix plus the nullity of the matrix equals the number of columns of the matrix (this is the "rank theorem" or the "rank-nullity theorem").

 Curling Up Extra Dimensions in String Theory
The ultimate goal of string theory is not only to unify quantum mechanics with general relativity, but also to explain the spectrum of particles and forces observed in nature.
Three years ago it was discovered that the five distinct types of string theory were actually different limits of "M theory," an eleven-dimensional theory that includes supergravity.
M theory lacks precise equations of motion, but in 1996, Tom Banks, of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ, and his colleagues proposed that M theory might be described by "matrix theory," whose basic variables are matrices.

If the “real world” was nothing but another level of the matrix, then the laws of the matrix would apply, and since Bane’s consciousness was replaces by Smith’s, then Smith’s residual self image is what would be displayed inside of the matrix, and we wouldn’t see Bane.

 Qualitative Matrix Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
By a pattern we mean the arrangement of zero vs. nonzero entries (understood over a particular field) in a matrix, while a sign pattern refers to the arrangement of positive, negative and zero entries in a real matrix.
Qualitative matrix theory deals with the characterization of the patterns (sign patterns) that require or allow a given property Q. It has some similarity with matrix completion theory, but typically the emphasis and motivation are different.
Qualitative matrix theory is also similar to matrix completion theory with regard to the significant role of combinatorial though both old and new.

 DMV Summer school on RMT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Random Matrix Theory is a theory of the local statistics of the eigenvalues of certain ensembles of random matrices, such as the group of all N-by-N unitary matrices, in the "scaling limit" as the size of the matrices goes to infinity.
An exciting and relatively recent development in the theory of zeta function is the realization that the imaginary parts of the zeros, when viewed on the scale of their mean separation, seem to have non-trivial statistics which are precisely those appearing in Random Matrix Theory.
We will give tutorials on the basics of RMT, the basic theory of the Riemann zeta function and related objects (such as Dirichlet L-functions) and their applications in number theory, and the state of the art in understanding the connections between these two theories.

 MATRIX THEORY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Note that a zero matrix (i.e., a matrix with all entries 0) added to, or subtracted from, a matrix does not change it and that this property is enjoyed only by the zero matrix.
Negative of a matrix A, written -A, is the matrix the (i, j)-th entry of which is -a, the negative of the corresponding entry in A. It follows that A - B = A + (-B).
Thus a scalar matrix is a matrix of type cI, where I is an identity matrix.

 INI Programme RMA Workshop - Recent Perspectives in Random Matrix Theory and Number Theory
The connection between random matrix theory and the zeros of the Riemann zeta function was first suggested by Montgomery and Dyson in 1973, and later used in the 1980s to elucidate periodic orbit calculations in the field of quantum chaos.
Notwithstanding these successes there has always been the problem that very few researchers are well-versed both in number theory and methods in mathematical physics.
The aim of this school is to provide a grounding in both the relevant aspects of number theory, and the techniques of random matrix theory, as well as to inform the students of what progress has been made when these two apparently disparate subjects meet.
