Grade 12 students in Manitoba learning Applied Math... They're in two different towns, and happen to be connected by Highway 10...They'll be learning with and from each other. Ryan Maksymchuk and Cam Bennet are teachers in Swan River and Dauphin, Manitoba, respectively. This is a bright idea that may encourage other teachers and students to consider collaborating with other learners in other places...It might work. It might not...Watch and see...

February 19th Math Blog*

Hello...
Today at the DRCSS we did Tutorial 2.2- Multiplying Matrices..
When multiplying a Matrice, multiply the first number in the row by the first number in the column.. then multiply the second number in the row by the second number in the column.. and so on then add the products.

** Two matrices, A & B, can be multiplied to form A X B only if:
  • The Number of columns in A = The number if rows in B
If this is so. then the product matrix AB will have the same number of rows as A & the same number of columns as B.
Example:
Amxn X Bnxp = ABmxp
--->>
m,m are dimentions of product matrix.
--->>
n,n must be equal.
*When you multiply matrices, AxB doesn't necessarily equal BxA

For today's assignment we had done questions 1,2,3,4, and your choice of either 5 or 6, on Page 64.

  1. good post, was there any other tips about the order of the matrices that I mentioned? (think column and row labels)
