Multiplication

There are different multiplication operations that involve matrices. These are
described next. The examples are shown in algebraic mode.

Multiplication by a scalar
Some examples of multiplication of a matrix by a scalar are shown below.


Matrix-vector multiplication
Matrix-vector multiplication is possible only if the number of columns of the
matrix is equal to the length of the vector. A couple of examples of matrix-
vector multiplication follow:

Vector-matrix multiplication, on the other hand, is not defined. This
multiplication can be performed, however, as a special case of matrix
multiplication as defined next.
