Properties of eigen value —
- The sum of the eigen values is equal to the trace of the matrix.
- The product of the eigen values is the determinant of the matrix.
- If the eigen value of are then the eigen values of are
- The eigen value of are
- matrix’s eigen values

Q. Convert into normal form —
Page 13
Rank:
- The no. of independent rows of a matrix is called rank of the matrix.
- zero row always dependent.
- Any other row except zero row in row-echelon form, is an independent row.
- All rows in identity matrix — independent
- In matrix, no. of ind. row = ind. column no.
Q. Find the rank of,
(Note: The first row of the first matrix is written as in the notes but acts as in operations. The last matrix is left incomplete in the original notes).
Page 14
Row-Echelon form: A matrix is said to be in row echelon form if it follows the following properties —
- All non-zero rows are above any rows of all zero.
- Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it.
- All entries in a column below leading entry is zero.
Examples:
(Note: The circled entries above are annotated as “leading entry”. There is a Bengali note below them: [leading এর নিচেরটা zero]).

Row-echelon form —
(Note: The circled entries represent leading entries).
Reduced row-echelon form — Follows all row-echelon rules, Moreover,
- The leading entry must be 1.
- The leading entry is the only non-zero entry of th is it’s column.

Elementary transformation — (Elementary row operations)
Any of the following operations is called transformation:
- Interchanging any two rows
- Multiply any rows by a non-zero constant
- Addition of constant multiplication of elements of any rows with another row. i.e.
All these matrices are equivalent, not equal.
(Note: Annotated with “interchange” and “eqv. sign” below the equivalent arrow).
(Note: This operation is applied to the row-interchanged matrix with scaled by ).
(Note: In the notes, the arrow in is crossed out, showing this is not a valid elementary row operation).

# If a matrix is obtained from matrix by one or more elementary transformations, then is said to be equivalent to . i.e.
Rank of a matrix:
The number of independent rows of a matrix is called rank of a matrix.

Definition: —
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers (real or complex) enclosed by a pair of brackets. The numbers in the array are called the entries or the elements of the matrix.
Types of Matrix (Def. and examples) — (Note: “formal def.” is written in green next to the title).
- Row Matrix : 1 row
- Column matrix : 1 column (Note: There is a vertical arrow drawn below this line).
- Rectangular : Unequal numbers of row and column.
- Square matrix : Equal number of row and column.
- Scalar matrix : A diagonal whose elements are same.
- Diagonal matrix : A square matrix whose elements when is called a diagonal matrix.

- Identity matrix
- Null matrix
- Symmetric matrix : A matrix is equal to its transpose. i.e. A square matrix such that for is said to be symmetric matrix.
(Note: “Symmetric” is written below the matrix with a wavy underline).
- Skew-symmetric matrix : Same as before — such that (diagonal always zero)
