| A Matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns which can be used to organize numeric information. Matrices can be used to predict trends and outcomes in real situations - i.e. polling.

| |
| A matrix can be written and displayed like [[Image: matrices03.gif|A matrix]]
| |
| | |
| In this case the matrix is constructed using the brackets before creating the array:
| |
| $$ M = \left[\begin{array} a&b&1 \ c&d&2 \ e&f&3\end{array}\right] $$
| |
| The internal structure of the array is generated by the &, ampersand, and the double backslash.
| |
| | |
| You can also create a grid for the matrix.

| |$$ M = \left[\begin{array}'''{c.c.c}''' a&b&1 \ '''\hdash''' c&d&2 \ '''\hdash''' e&f&3\end{array}\right] $$
| |
| |$$ M = \left[\begin{array}'''{c|c|c}''' a&b&1 \ '''\hline''' c&d&2 \ '''\hline''' e&f&3\end{array}\right] $$
| |
| |$$ M = \left[\begin{array}'''{c.c|c}''' a&b&1 \ '''\hline''' c&d&2 \ '''\hdash''' e&f&3\end{array}\right] $$
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The command sequences here are the {c|c.c} and \hdash and \hline. The pipe, |, and the full stop determine the line type for the vertical line.
| |
| | |
| Matrices also respond to other TeX Notation commands such as size and colour.
