Title: 7_1 Introduction to Matrices
Course: HELM Workbooks 2023-2024 > Section: HELM 7: Matrices

When we wish to solve large systems of simultaneous linear equations, which arise for example in the problem of finding the forces on members of a large framed structure, we can isolate the coefficients of the variables as a block of numbers called a matrix. There are many other applications of matrices. In this quiz we develop the terminology and basic properties of a matrix.
