In order to mutiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix has to be the same as the number of rows in the second matrix. Here, you're trying to multiply a 2x2 matrix by a matrix with 3 …

Unlike the numbers we are used to, where 2x3 = 3x2, this is not the case with matrices. This property, of rearranging the operands, as I did with 2 and 3 above, is called the commutative property of …

The dimensions of a matrix tell the number of rows and columns of the matrix in that order. Since matrix A has 2 rows and 3 columns, it is called a 2 × 3 matrix.

You can think of a point in three dimensional space as a 1 by 3 matrix, where the x coordinate is the 1,1 value in the matrix, y is the 1,2 and the z coordinate is the 1,3 value.

So it's a 2 by 3 matrix. And this has three rows and two columns, it's 3 by 2. This only works-- we could only multiply this matrix times this matrix, if the number of columns on this matrix is equal to the …
