7.2.3 Matrix Multiplication
TLDRThis video script delves into the concepts of matrix multiplication, focusing on scalar and row by column multiplication. It explains that scalar multiplication involves distributing a real number across every entry of a matrix, while row by column multiplication requires compatible matrix orders for execution. The script provides step-by-step examples to illustrate how to perform these operations, emphasizing the importance of matching the number of columns in the first matrix with the number of rows in the second to enable multiplication. The video concludes by highlighting that reversing the order of matrices affects the feasibility of multiplication.
Takeaways
- π΅ The video begins with an introduction to matrix multiplication, highlighting that there are two types: scalar multiplication and matrix multiplication.
- π’ In scalar multiplication, a real number (scalar) K is multiplied by every entry in matrix A to obtain a new matrix.
- π€ For matrix multiplication to occur, the number of columns in the first matrix (A) must match the number of rows in the second matrix (B).
- π« The order of matrices is described by MxN, where M represents the number of rows and N the number of columns.
- π Matrix multiplication involves row-by-column multiplication, where elements from the rows of the first matrix are multiplied with elements from the columns of the second matrix.
- π The video provides a color-coded example of multiplying a 2x3 matrix by a 3x2 matrix, resulting in a new 2x2 matrix.
- π The process of matrix multiplication is demonstrated with a step-by-step calculation, emphasizing the distributive property applied to matrix entries.

Q & A
What are the two types of matrix multiplication discussed in the video?
-The two types of matrix multiplication discussed in the video are scalar multiplication and matrix multiplication.
What is scalar multiplication in the context of matrices?
-Scalar multiplication is the process of multiplying each individual entry of a matrix by a real number, known as the scalar.
How do you perform scalar multiplication on a matrix?
-To perform scalar multiplication, you multiply every element in the matrix by the given scalar value.
What is required for two matrices to be multiplied together?
-For two matrices to be multiplied together, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix.
What is the term used for multiplying rows of one matrix by columns of another in matrix multiplication?
-The process of multiplying rows of one matrix by columns of another matrix is called row by column multiplication.
How does the order of matrices affect their multiplication?
-The order of matrices, specifically the number of rows and columns, determines whether matrix multiplication is possible and also dictates the order of the resulting matrix.
What happens when you switch the order of the matrices in multiplication?
-Switching the order of the matrices in multiplication may result in the multiplication not being possible if the number of columns of the first matrix does not match the number of rows of the second matrix. Even if multiplication is possible, the order of the resulting matrix will be different.
How does the size of the resulting matrix change when you multiply two matrices?
-The size of the resulting matrix is determined by the number of rows from the first matrix and the number of columns from the second matrix.
Can you multiply a 2x3 matrix by a 3x2 matrix? What about a 3x2 matrix by a 2x3 matrix?
-You can multiply a 2x3 matrix by a 3x2 matrix because the number of columns in the first (3) matches the number of rows in the second (3). However, you cannot multiply a 3x2 matrix by a 2x3 matrix because the middle numbers do not match.
What is the resulting order of the matrix when a 2x3 matrix is multiplied by a 3x2 matrix?
-The resulting matrix order when a 2x3 matrix is multiplied by a 3x2 matrix is 2x2.
How does the distributive property relate to scalar multiplication in matrices?
-The distributive property in scalar multiplication relates to the fact that the scalar must be multiplied by each individual entry in the matrix, distributing the scalar across all elements.
