When you accidentally multiply matrices the way, but nobody notices (Reddit r/mathmemes)

Matrix multiplication is quite complicated but sometimes we could multiply them entry by entry. Of course, this does not work for all the matrices but only for the well-designed ones!

    I always hated how matrix multiplication is taught. Rows times columns errrggh.. what? Where have I been, did I make a mistake? I always get confused. So I have devised a better method. I imagine the matrices are rotated 45 degrees to right and the result matrix is like a lego brick down between them. That determines its size. Then I imagine the numbers are like balls in a tivoli machine, just waiting to fall down to their place, just block by some imaginary obstacle. Then I release both of the obstacles at once and from both sides numbers start falling in their respecive line. And the numbers that hit each other are the ones that multiply and all the numbers that hit in the same place are added and the result is the number in that place. And then I just rotate the resulting matrix 45 degrees left and put it where math teacher wants it. I don't know if I explained it right so you can imagine it, but this is what I do in my head to prevent myself from making mistakes so I don't have to think in terms of confusing rows and columns. There is also a way to do the same thing without the 45 degree rotation, if you just imagine the right matrix is just above the left matrix but just to the right, so the resulting matrix is just right of the first and just below the second and the multiplied vectors are basically just intersections..., but the gravity thing kinda helps me... I guess I better make a video. :D Maybe one day

    The best way to think about it is that you sell apples. In the first matrix rows correspond to different days of selling and columns are the numbers of different kind of apples that were sold. Column in another matrix tells us the prices of those different kind of apples and the result of multiplication is the amount of money you get for every single day of selling. And if we have multiple columns in the second matrix, then it's just hypothetical scenarios where you set different prices for your apples ;)

    Yeah this post was cool. If we equate the formulas we get b1*c2 = 0 and c1*b2 = 0. Then our other equations inform our other required zeros. For b1 = 0: c1 = 0: (a1 or b2 = 0) & (d1 or c2 = 0) b2 = 0: c1[a2 - c2] + c2d1 = 0 For c2 = 0: c1 = 0: b1[d2 - b2] + b2a1 = 0 b2 = 0: (c1 or a2 = 0) & (b1 or d2 = 0) We were given that c1, c2 = 0. So 6(2-4) + 4*3 = 0, which is true, which is why the post fulfills the reqs. Similarly for b1, b2 = 0: c1[a2 - c2] + c2d1 = 0 Choose c2, c1, and a2 to be whatever; but then you have to calculate d1. Say c2 = 1, c1 = 2, a2 = 4. d1 = -6 X. 0. 4. 0. 2. -6. 1. Y. Can choose X and Y freely.

    The idea is that matrices represent linear maps, and multiplication of matrices is then the same thing as composition of the linear maps. if A and B are the matrices of two linears maps a and b and X and Y two column matrices representing two vectors x and y then Y = ABX is just another way to write y=a(b(x)). And this linear map matrix correspondance is the real reason why we bother with matrices at all

Case 7 reflects the fact that multiplying diagonal matrices is easy, that it's componentwise for the diagonal entries. Cases 3, 4, 5, & 6 are not as obvious, but straightforward to verify. Cases 8 & 9 are interesting for only requiring two entries to be 0, such that both X & Y are upper triangular (or lower triangular) matrices, along with requiring the componentwise multiplication to hold for the entry diagonally opposite the 0 entry.

  • @SimonBuchanNz

    @SimonBuchanNz

    12 күн бұрын

    (forgive me if this covers stuff you already know) Because multiplication is symbolically represented in algebra by simple adjacency: eg "ax = y" is multiplying a and x. When you use literal numbers, eg "3•4 = 12" you need the dot (or ×) to disambiguate, but otherwise no operator is needed. For matrices, equivalently, the symbols are traditionally uppercase letters, often starting with T for the varying values, eg "AT = U" has three matrices, but while the literal form is the square brackets around the grid of values, it's still as a whole a single value in an algebraic expression. So the only thing left is: why don't you need a different operator for multiplying matrices than numbers? The confusing answer is that matrices actually are numbers! Just like whole numbers, integers, real numbers and complex numbers are all different structurally but can be treated as numbers by adding and multiplying, following sensible rules you learned in early math classes like "(x + y) + z = x + (y + z)" and "0x = 0", so do matrices (and vectors, quaternions, polynomials, etc. to some degree) The sets of these rules and what structures and operations follow them is group theory.

  • @carultch

    @carultch

    17 күн бұрын

    The cross product is a product of two vectors, that returns a third vector that is mutually perpendicular to both of the vectors. The magnitude of the cross product vector, tells you the product of magnitudes of the two given vectors as well as another factor that measures how "crossed" (i.e. perpendicular) the two source vectors are. That factor, is the sine of the angle between them. The cross product is not commutative like normal multiplication, and produces the direction of its output according to the right hand rule. An application of the cross product is torque. The radius vector from the pivot point, crossed with the force, tells you the torque that the force applies; i.e. the rotational equivalent concept to a force. By convention, we assign torque in the same direction as a standard right-handed bolt would move parallel to its axis, if you spin it in the direction you apply the torque.

    Nothing in mathematics is lost to history. Artworks like writings and statues can be lost, because they are unique, but mathematics is objective. We can discover the exact same principles that have been "lost", if any, and given that we have supercomputers now, it's safe to say that there is nothing in mathematics they knew and we don't. In fact, we've solved problems Euler and other geniuses couldn't, because of technical limitations. We've advanced fields of theories, like knot theory, that would have been impossible to progress without computers. So please, spare us from your profound sanctimonies.

    @zero-sl3bn but how you can apply partial fraction to secx function, because we sec^2x in the denominator..so it would be (AX+C)÷ (sec^2x+i) + (BX+D)÷ (sec^2x -i)... but don't get it how to apply on secx function.

    When you do matrix multiplication, you need to also "add" another term so that to assemble the real equations. Matrix in math is just a system to solve a simultaneous equations. In other words matrix is just an isolated system made from a bunch of simultaneous equations. Consider the circle equation. y(t)=r * sin (t) x(t)=r* cos (t) But, this is only true for the first quadrant i.e when x and y is always positive. Later they find out the equation is x(t)= x * cos(t) + y * sin(t) y(t)= x * -sin(t) + y * cos(t) This is the formula for a clockwise rotation in which the rotation is in the form of a circle. From here you can isolate the equations in a matrix form. [ cos(t) sin(t) ] [ x ] [ -sin(t) cos(t) ] [ y ] So, if you try to assemble the original equation from a matrix form, you must do "addition" or you won't get the original equations.

    Why do you call it a matrix “multiplication” when in fact it is an arbitrary rigmarole? Why don’t you just arbitrarily divide all the numbers while you are at it? 2x3=6 is a multiplication. What you are doing with those two matrices is not at all a “multiplication”.

    It's not arbitrary at all. When you understand what's going on, it's very obviously the most natural way for matrix multiplication to work.

    @@benkelly2024 ​​⁠your comment is arbitrary because, since it has no explanation, is neither true nor false. Why is it called a multiplication when in fact there are steps other than a multiplication involved? Why is the rigmarole needed? What facts of reality make all this necessary? If there are indeed reasons why this is necessary, why is calling this a multiplication not arbitrary, when it is quite clear that 2x3 is?

    Because it has a lot of properties in common with multiplication. Consider how you'd use matrices to solve the following system of equations: 3*x + 2*y = 14 4*x + 5*y = 28 You'll construct a square matrix of the coefficients, which we call A. You'll construct a column matrix of x & y, which we'll call matrix X. You'll then construct a column matrix of the right hand side constants, which we'll call B. This produces the following matrix equation: A*X = B You can see that each entry of matrix A, is multiplied by one of the entries of matrix X, somewhere within this process. And just as you'd solve 3*x = 9 by multiplying by the reciprocal of 3, there's a similar method of solving this matrix equation by multiplying by the "reciprocal" matrix of A. A*X = B A^(-1) * A * X = A^(-1) * B A^(-1) * A = the identity matrix I, by definition. This is analogous to the idea of 1, where it is something you can multiply by anything, and return that same anything. I * X = A^(-1)*B An identity matrix multiplied by a column matrix, returns that column matrix. Thus: X = A^(-1) * B The hard part is finding the matrix A^(-1). For the 2x2 case where A = [a, b][c, d], the general solution is: [d, -b] [-c, a], all divided by (a*d - b*c) So this example: A^(-1) = [5/7, -2/7] [-4/7, 3/7] Multiply by the column matrix of [14][35] and get: X = [2][4] Which implies x=2 and y=4.

    @geekonomist I have pointed out that your confusion is simply the result of ignorance, but I have no interest in educating you. If, now that you are aware of it, you wish to remedy your ignorance, that is up to you. The subject you need to study is called Linear Algebra, and it is usually one of the first subjects taught in a mathematics degree.

    @@benkelly2024 I asked ChatGPT. I gave it (along with you) shit for three rounds because it kept things absolutely ridiculously abstract (ie : Matrix A represents a Rotation (!?!) and Matrix B a Scaling (!?!). Then after repeated badgering, it finally yielded a real world example, called sales volume of apples and oranges at different prices in different stores. Funny how just the title alone answers all questions I have, and how NOBODY thinks in terms of apples and oranges when teaching and pontificating in comments. And no, it is not a "multiplication" when you combine the values of a spreadsheet of your prices and volumes of apples and oranges. "Multiplication" is an arbitrarily misnamed - rigmarole.

    It most definitely is how we multiply matrices. Its called the Hadamard product and its a universal basis for how modern computer architectures compute all the other matrix products hyper-efficiently. Very disingenuous video.

    This wasn’t even the way I thought they multiplied them wrongly. I thought they had transposed the multiplication and it does indeed work that way as well. I have a feeling (but not a proof) that any 2x2 matrix multiplication that abides by your proof will also have this quality of multiplying the same way in all three ways
