   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search In mathematics , a matrix (plural matrices ) is a rectangular table of elements (or entries ), which may be numbers or, more generally, any abstract quantities that can be added and multiplied . Matrices are used to describe linear equations , keep track of the coefficients of linear transformations and to record data that depend on multiple parameters. Matrices are described by the field of matrix theory . Matrices can be added, multiplied, and decomposed in various ways, which also makes them a key concept in the field of linear algebra In this article, the entries of a matrix are real or complex numbers unless otherwise noted. Organization of a matrix The horizontal lines in a matrix are called rows and the vertical lines are called columns . A matrix with m rows and n columns is called an m -by- n matrix (written m n ) and m and n are called its dimensions . The dimensions of a matrix are always given with the number of rows first, then the number of columns. It is commonly said that an

Currently you can add or subtract matrices, multiply two matrices, multiply a matrix by a scalar and raise a matrix to any power. A matrix is a rectangular array of elements (usually called scalars), which are set out in rows and columns. They have many uses in mathematics, including the transformation of coordinates and the solution of linear systems of equations. Here is an example of a 2x3 matrix : The arithmetic suite of commands allows you to add or subtract matrices, carry out matrix multiplication and scalar multiplication and raise a matrix to any power. Matrices are added to and subtracted from one another element by element. For instance, when adding two matrices A and B, the element at row i, column j of A is added to the element at row i, column j of B to give the element at row i, column j of the answer. Consequently, you can only add and subtract matrices which are the same size.

   Extractions: On this page we hope to clear up problems that you might have with matrices. Matrices are good things to have under control and know how to deal with, because you will use them extensively in pre-calculus to solve systems of equations that have variables up the wazoo! (Like one we remember with seven equations in seven variables.) Addition and subtraction Quiz on Matrices To add matrices, we add the corresponding members. The matrices have to have the same dimensions. Example: Solution: Add the corresponding members. Subtraction of matrices is done in the same manner as addition. Always be aware of the negative signs and remember that a double negative is a positive! Back to Top You can multiply a matrix by another matrix or by a number. When you multiply a matrix by a number, multiply each member of the matrix by the number. To multiply a matrix by a matrix, the first matrix has to have the same number of columns as the rows in the second matrix. Examples: Solution: Multiply each member of the matrix by 2. Problem: Multiply the matrices shown below.

   Extractions: The beginnings of matrices and determinants goes back to the second century BC although traces can be seen back to the fourth century BC. However it was not until near the end of the 17 th Century that the ideas reappeared and development really got underway. It is not surprising that the beginnings of matrices and determinants should arise through the study of systems of linear equations. The Babylonians studied problems which lead to simultaneous linear equations and some of these are preserved in clay tablets which survive. For example a tablet dating from around 300 BC contains the following problem:- There are two fields whose total area is square yards. One produces grain at the rate of of a bushel per square yard while the other produces grain at the rate of a bushel per square yard. If the total yield is bushels, what is the size of each field. The Chinese, between 200 BC and 100 BC, came much closer to matrices than the Babylonians. Indeed it is fair to say that the text Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art written during the Han Dynasty gives the first known example of matrix methods. First a problem is set up which is similar to the Babylonian example given above:-

    Extractions: Rotation Matrix When discussing a rotation , there are two possible conventions: rotation of the axes , and rotation of the object relative to fixed axes. In , consider the matrix that rotates a given vector by a counterclockwise angle in a fixed coordinate system. Then so This is the convention used by Mathematica command RotationMatrix theta On the other hand, consider the matrix that rotates the coordinate system through a counterclockwise angle . The coordinates of the fixed vector in the rotated coordinate system are now given by a rotation matrix which is the matrix transpose of the fixed-axis matrix and, as can be seen in the above diagram, is equivalent to rotating the vector by a counterclockwise angle of relative to a fixed set of axes, giving This is the convention commonly used in textbooks such as Arfken (1985, p. 195). In , coordinate system rotations of the x y -, and z -axes in a counterclockwise direction when looking towards the origin give the matrices (Goldstein 1980, pp. 146-147 and 608; Arfken 1985, pp. 199-200).

    Extractions: The orgins of mathematical matrices lie with the study of systems of simultaneous linear equations. An important Chinese text from between 300 BC and AD 200, Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art Chiu Chang Suan Shu ), gives the first known example of the use of matrix methods to solve simultaneous equations. In the treatise's seventh chapter, "Too much and not enough," the concept of a determinant first appears, nearly two millennia before its supposed invention by the Japanese mathematician Seki Kowa in 1683 or his German contemporary Gottfried Leibnitz (who is also credited with the invention of differential calculus, separately from but simultaneously with Isaac Newton). More uses of matrix-like arrangements of numbers appear in chapter eight, "Methods of rectangular arrays," in which a method is given for solving simultaneous equations using a counting board that is mathematically identical to the modern matrix method of solution outlined by

    Extractions: Maintained by Tim Davis From the abstract of the paper The University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection: As of September 2007, it contains 1877 problems (some of which are sequences of dozens of matrices). The smallest is 5-by-5 with 19 nonzero entries. The largest has dimension 9.8 million, and the matrix with the most nonzeros has 99.2 million entries. The matrices are available in three formats: MATLAB mat-file, Rutherford-Boeing, and Matrix Market. The size of the collection in each format is about 9 GB. Note that the MATLAB mat-files can only be read by MATLAB 7.0 or later. This collection is managed by Tim Davis, but ``editors'' of other collections are attributed, via the Problem.ed field in each problem set. Problem.author is the matrix creator. Other collections are always welcome. Click here for a paper describing the collection (Jan. 2007). Note: all of the matrices have been updated as of November 25, 2006. Additional minor changes to the meta-data were made in January, 2007 (problem kind added to all matrices). Most changes are minor, but if you have existing matrices from this collection, I suggest you delete them and download the most recent copies.

    Extractions: Query Length Substitution Matrix Gap Costs PAM-30 PAM-70 BLOSUM-80 BLOSUM-62 The raw score of an alignment is the sum of the scores for aligning pairs of residues and the scores for gaps. Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST use "affine gap costs" which charge the score -a for the existence of a gap, and the score -b for each residue in the gap. Thus a gap of k residues receives a total score of -(a+bk); specifically, a gap of length 1 receives the score -(a+b). To convert a raw score S into a normalized score S' expressed in bits, one uses the formula S' = (lambda*S - ln K)/(ln 2), where lambda and K are parameters dependent upon the scoring system (substitution matrix and gap costs) employed [7-9]. For determining S', the more important of these parameters is lambda. The "lambda ratio" quoted here is the ratio of the lambda for the given scoring system to that for one using the same substitution scores, but with infinite gap costs [8]. This ratio indicates what proportion of information in an ungapped alignment must be sacrificed in the hope of improving its score through extension using gaps. We have found empirically that the most effective gap costs tend to be those with lambda ratios in the range 0.8 to 0.9. Altschul, S.F.

    Extractions: HOMOGENEOUS TRANSFORMATION MATRICES Daniel W. VanArsdale Vector (nonhomogeneous) methods are still being recommended to effect rotations and other linear transformations. Homogeneous matrices have the following advantages: simple explicit expressions exist for many familiar transformations including rotation these expressions are n-dimensional there is no need for auxiliary transformations, as in vector methods for rotation more general transformations can be represented (e.g. projections, translations) directions (ideal points) can be used as parameters of the transformation, or as inputs if nonsingular matrix T transforms point P by PT, then hyperplane h is transformed by T h the columns of T (as hyperplanes) generate the null space of T by intersections The expressions below use reduction to echelon form and Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization, both with slight modifications. They can be easily coded in any higher level language so that the same procedures generate transformations for any dimension. This article is at an undergraduate level, but the reader should have had some exposure to linear algebra and analytic projective geometry.

    Extractions: In aligning two protein sequences, some method must be used to score the alignment of one residue against another. Substitution matrices contain such values. The late Margaret Dayhoff was a pioneer in protein databasing and comparison. She and her coworkers developed a model of protein evolution which resulted in the development of a set of widely used substitution matrices . These are frequently called Dayhoff, MDM (Mutation Data Matrix), or PAM (Percent Accepted Mutation) matrices. Several later groups have attempted to extend Dayhoff's methodology or re-apply her analysis using later databases with more examples. Extensions Proteins 17:49 ) compared these two newer versions of the PAM matrices with Dayhoff's originals.

    Extractions: Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Purpose: Designed to measure a person’s ability to form perceptual relations. Population: Ages 6 to adult. Score: Percentile ranks. Time: (45) minutes. Author: J.C. Raven. Publisher: U.S. Distributor: The Psychological Corporation. Description: The Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) was designed to measure a person’s ability to form perceptual relations and to reason by analogy independent of language and formal schooling, and may be used with persons ranging in age from 6 years to adult. It is the first and most widely used of three instruments known as the Raven's Progressive Matrices, the other two being the Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) and the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM). All three tests are measures of Spearman's g. Scoring: Reliability: Internal consistency studies using either the split-half method corrected for length or KR20 estimates result in values ranging from .60 to .98, with a median of .90. Test-retest correlations range from a low of .46 for an eleven-year interval to a high of .97 for a two-day interval. The median test-retest value is approximately .82. Coefficients close to this median value have been obtained with time intervals of a week to several weeks, with longer intervals associated with smaller values. Raven provided test-retest coefficients for several age groups: .88 (13 yrs. plus), .93 (under 30 yrs.), .88 (30-39 yrs.), .87 (40-49 yrs.), .83 (50 yrs. and over). Validity: Spearman considered the SPM to be the best measure of g. When evaluated by factor analytic methods which were used to define g initially, the SPM comes as close to measuring it as one might expect. The majority of studies which have factor analyzed the SPM along with other cognitive measures in Western cultures report loadings higher than .75 on a general factor. Concurrent validity coefficients between the SPM and the Stanford-Binet and Weschler scales range between .54 and .88, with the majority in the .70s and .80s.

18. Science News Online - Ivars Peterson's MathLand - 6/14/97
    Illustrated article explaining how contra dance patterns and rhythms are formed.  
    http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc97/6_14_97/mathland.htm
    
    Extractions: June 14, 1997 The origins of contra dancing go back to colonial days, and its roots can be traced to English country dance. It's really a group rather than a couples effort, and it has elements that might remind you of traditional square dancing. Rhythm and pattern are the keys. What's striking, says Scanlon, is that a remarkably high percentage of its practitioners are highly educated, often involved in mathematics, computers, or engineering. "The appeal seems to lie in its being a kind of 'set dancing,' where one's position relative to others while tracing patterns on the dance floor is paramount," he says. "Timing is also crucial, as is the ability to rapidly carry out called instructions and do fraction math on the fly." Scanlon introduced both the mathematical and performance sides of contra dancing to attendees earlier this year at the 2nd Annual Recreational Mathematics Conference (see "Fun and Games in Nevada" The music for contra dancing is highly structured. Everything occurs in units of four. The band plays a tune for 16 beats, repeats the tune, then plays a new tune for 16 beats and repeats that. An eight-beat section is known as a call, during which each block of four dancers executes a called-out instruction. An entire dance is precisely 64 beats long. When the dancers line up in their groups of four to produce a long column down the floor extending away from the band, each square block consisting of two couples can be thought of as a matrix. Each dancer (element of the matrix) is in a specific position within the block. The called instructions correspond to rearrangements of the elements of the matrix. After 64 beats, however, the first and second rows of the matrix must be interchanged. Of course, that can be done in one step, but the fun comes in all the different ways in which groups of four can get to that inevitable end result.
