"text": "You can think of a matrix as a neatly organized grid, like a spreadsheet. Each row and column holds data, making it easy to spot patterns.",
"latex": "a+b"
},
{
"text": "For example, you can store test scores for three students, Ali, Ben, and Chloe, in two subjects, Math and Science. The rows can be the students, and the columns can be the subjects. The first row shows Ali's scores, 85 in Math and 92 in Science. The second row shows Ben's scores and the third shows Chloe's.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 85 & 92 \\\\ 78 & 80 \\\\ 90 & 88 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "Now, how can you manipulate this data? Imagine every student gets a 5 percent bonus on their scores. You can do this by multiplying the entire matrix by the scalar one-point-zero-five.",
"latex": "1.05 \\times \\begin{bmatrix} 85 & 92 \\\\ 78 & 80 \\\\ 90 & 88 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "Multiplying every element by one-point-zero-five gives you the new scores matrix. Ali's new math score, for example, is eighty-nine-point-two-five.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 89.25 & 96.6 \\\\ 81.9 & 84 \\\\ 94.5 & 92.4 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "Let’s say you also have project scores for each student. If these are stored in another matrix of the same size, you can add the two matrices together to get the total scores.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 85 & 92 \\\\ 78 & 80 \\\\ 90 & 88 \\end{bmatrix} + \\begin{bmatrix} 8 & 7 \\\\ 6 & 8 \\\\ 9 & 6 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "Matrix addition is element-wise, so you just add the corresponding numbers. The first element of the total scores matrix is 85 plus 8, which is 93. Continuing like this, you get the full matrix: 93, 99, 84, 88, 99, and 94.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 93 & 99 \\\\ 84 & 88 \\\\ 99 & 94 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "Matrix multiplication is also very powerful. Imagine Math is more important than Science, so it counts for 60 percent of the grade, while Science counts for 40 percent. You can represent these weights in a column vector.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 0.6 \\\\ 0.4 \\end{bmatrix}"
},
{
"text": "By multiplying the 3-by-2 scores matrix with the 2-by-1 weights vector, you get a 3-by-1 matrix of the final weighted totals for each student. Ali's final weighted score is eighty-seven-point-eight. Ben and Chloe’s final scores are in the second and third rows.",
"latex": "\\begin{bmatrix} 85 & 92 \\\\ 78 & 80 \\\\ 90 & 88 \\end{bmatrix} \\times \\begin{bmatrix} 0.6 \\\\ 0.4 \\end{bmatrix} = \\begin{bmatrix} 87.8 \\\\ 78.8 \\\\ 89.2 \\end{bmatrix}"

{
"text": "Because of this flexibility, matrices are used everywhere for handling data. You find them in computer graphics, economics, and data science, where their organized structure makes complex operations manageable.",
