We briefly went through the definitions in Chapter 1. Make sure you know the definitions. We finished section 2.4, partitioned matrices. Notice that the formulas for matrix-matrix products are valid even if we have "a matrix whose entries are matrices" (which is one way we can interpret partitioned matrices). 2.4 Exercises 1-4. When you answer these, remember that matrix multiplication is not commutative. For instance, if M is the answer to Exercise 1, then the entry in Row 2, Column 1 should be EA. It should NOT be AE because EA and AE need not be equal when A,E are matrices. Exercises 5-10: these are good puzzles that will help you to have a better grip on matrix multiplication. Again, don't mix up XA and AX, those are not the same when A,X are matrices. Later in the book we will often encounter things like P A P^(-1) and that is usually not equal to A. Exercise 15: this may shed some light on the next section. Turn in Ex 6 and 8.
