Suppose a matrix a has m rows and n columns the order of matrix a is denoted by m x n read as m by n. If x is an m n matrix and y is an n p matrix then the product xy will make sense and it will be an m p matrix. Adding and subtracting matrices is fairly straightforward. Certain matrices can be multiplied and their product is another matrix. A matrix is a collection of numbers ordered by rows and columns.
