  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.

As a rule, though, the word matrix and the notation associated with it are used only in connection with linear mappings.
to be equipotent.) Square matrices naturally arise in connection with a linear mapping of a space into itself (called an endomorphism), and in the related case of a change of basis (from one basis of some space, to another basis of the same space).
One more illustration: The derivative (at a point) of a mapping from one surface to another is a linear mapping; it is not a matrix of partial derivatives, because the matrix depends on a choice of basis but the derivative does not.

 Trace (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra, the trace of an n-by-n square matrix A is defined to be the sum of the elements on the main diagonal (the diagonal from the upper left to the lower right) of A, i.e.

 Inverse of a Square Matrix
Interestingly, linear independence of vectors plays a role here: a matrix is singular if its columns form a set of linearly dependent vectors; and it is nonsingular if its columns are linearly independent.
When A is a square nonsingular matrix, this linear system has a unique solution, which can be obtained as follows.
and we are done, since the matrix in front of B is the identity.

Abstract: The N \Theta N matrix A, whose ijth element A i;j, 1 i; j N, is defined by A i;j = (\Gamma1) dj=ie+1 ; is called the "square wave matrix." The ith row of A represents a \Sigma1- valued "square wave" function of j with half-period i.
This paper shows that the inverse of the square wave matrix is sparse and its elements may be expressed in terms of the Mobius function from number theory; it follows that multiplying an N-vector by either A \Gamma1 or A (thus converting a waveform into a...
