Matrices
A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers into rows and columns.
The number of rows and columns that a matrix has is called its dimension or its 
order. By convention, rows are listed first; and columns, second.
Numbers that appear in the rows and columns of a matrix are called elements of 
the matrix.Two matrices are equal if all three of the following conditions are met:
? Each matrix has the same number of rows.
? Each matrix has the same number of columns.
? Corresponding elements within each matrix are equal.

Types Of Matrices
Vectors
Vectors are a type of matrix having only one column or one row.
? Row vector or row matrix
? Column matrix or column vector
? Square Matrix
A matrix in which numbers of rows are equal to number of columns is called a 
square matrix
Diagonal Matrix
A square matrix A is called a diagonal matrix if each of its non-diagonal element is 
zero.
