1. Addition and Subtraction
Two matrices can be added or subtracted only if they have the same order. Addition is performed element-wise.
2. Scalar Multiplication
Multiplying a matrix by a scalar k involves multiplying every element of the matrix by k.
3. Matrix Multiplication
The product of matrices A (m×n) and B (n×p) is a matrix C (m×p). Matrix multiplication is not commutative (AB ≠ BA in general).
4. Transpose of a Matrix
Obtained by interchanging rows and columns. Property: (AB)ᵀ = BᵀAᵀ.
