Vector Space of Matrices

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview
The $ m\times n$-matrices form a vectorspace, that is, they can be added and they can be multiplied by scalars. These operations are defined componentwise:
$\displaystyle C = A+B$ $\displaystyle \Leftrightarrow$ $\displaystyle c_{i,j} = a_{i,j}+b_{i,j},$  
$\displaystyle B = \lambda A$ $\displaystyle \Leftrightarrow$ $\displaystyle b_{i,j} = \lambda a_{i,j}\, .$
