2. Determinant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

   Determinant. In mathematics, the determinant is a scalar -valued function of the entries of a square matrix. The determinant of a matrix A is commonly denoted det (A), det A, or |A|. Its value characterizes some properties of the matrix and the linear map represented, on a given basis, by the matrix. In particular, the determinant is nonzero if ...

3. Trace (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_(linear_algebra)

   Trace (linear algebra) In linear algebra, the trace of a square matrix A, denoted tr (A), [1] is defined to be the sum of elements on the main diagonal (from the upper left to the lower right) of A. The trace is only defined for a square matrix (n × n). In mathematical physics texts, if tr (A) = 0 then the matrix is said to be traceless.

4. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

   Cramer's rule. In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution. It expresses the solution in terms of the determinants of the (square) coefficient matrix and of matrices obtained from it by replacing one ...

5. Linear equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

   Linear equation. In mathematics, a linear equation is an equation that may be put in the form where are the variables (or unknowns), and are the coefficients, which are often real numbers. The coefficients may be considered as parameters of the equation and may be arbitrary expressions, provided they do not contain any of the variables.

6. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

   In vector calculus, the Jacobian matrix (/ dʒəˈkoʊbiən /, [1][2][3] / dʒɪ -, jɪ -/) of a vector-valued function of several variables is the matrix of all its first-order partial derivatives. When this matrix is square, that is, when the function takes the same number of variables as input as the number of vector components of its output ...

7. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra

   The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: linear maps such as: and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. [1][2][3] Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental ...

8. Matrix multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication

   In mathematics, specifically in linear algebra, matrix multiplication is a binary operation that produces a matrix from two matrices. For matrix multiplication, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. The resulting matrix, known as the matrix product, has the number of rows of the ...

9. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

   The intersection point is the solution. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1][2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such ...
