What are Matrices:
In mathematics, a matrix (plural
matrices) is a rectangular array of
numbers, symbols, or expressions,
arranged in rows and columns.



The individual items in a matrix are called
its elements or entries.












Application of Matrices

In physics related applications,
matrices are applied in the study of
electrical circuits, quantum mechanics
and optics.

One of the most important usages of
matrices in computer side applications
are encryption of message codes.

In geology, matrices are used for
taking seismic surveys.

Application of Matrices

Matrices are used in representing the real world
datas like the traits of peoples population, habits,
etc.

Matrices are used in calculating the gross domestic
products in economics which eventually helps in
calculating the goods production efficiently.

In robotics and automation, matrices are the base
elements for the robot movements. The
movements of the robots are programmed with the
calculation of matrices rows and columns. The
inputs for controlling robots are given based on the
calculations from matrices.
