What is Matrix or Matrices? How to Read a Matrix?

 A matrix is like a table or box with rows and columns that hold numbers.



So, What is Row and What is Column?

Lets take the below Excel table for Example:

Look at the Table.

You can see Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - Those are all called Rows.

You can see Serial Number, Product, Quantity, Price, Seles - Those are all Called Columns.

This Method is used in your School Math Tables, Excel Table, SQL table and every other Table..

This is the Proper Method to store data, so a computer can understand the data and it will be easier to Search the data or Create a Visualization from the data.




How you read the Row 1, You have to read as Serial Number, Product, Quantity, Price and Sales

How you read the Row 2, You have to read as 1, Product 1, 5, 25, 125. 

You will always read a Row from Left to Right.

Now, How you will read the Column A, you have to read as Serial Number, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

You will always read a Column from Top to Bottom.

Now, the same way you will read this Matrix.

This Above Matrix is called 2 x 3 Matrix because it has 2 Rows (left to right) and 3 Columns (top to bottom)

First Row has values 1, 2, 3
Second Row has values (You tell me in comments...)

First Column has values 1, 5
And you can see what are the values available for Second Column and Third Column.


These Values / Numbers are called elements of the matrix. You can use matrices to store data, solve equations, or represent real-world problems in math, computer science, and data analysis.

So, What is Matrix vs Matrices?

 When you have a Single Matrix table, it is called Matrix. You have more than one Matrix table, then it is called Matrices.

What is Artificial Intelligence? What is Machine Learning? What is Data Science? how they are related to each other?

Image
Artificial Intelligence means making Computers think like Human Brain, choosing correct & realistic decisions, answers based on the Current circumstance and importance. Personal Example: Data Science = What is Actually Happening in your Life. Machine Learning = What you are learning and experiencing in your Life. Artificial Intelligence = Taking Correct Decisions based on your Life Experience Another Example: You are AI Engineer & you created a Personal AI Friend using Python. Now, You give all information about your Financial Status, Economic Status, Emotional Status, Social Status, Current Situation in your Life, Current Situation in your Family, Current Situation in your Country etc etc... and your Current problems in an Excel file or SQL Database. Now you are giving this data to your AI tool which you created. 1. It will analyze the information, choose which is important and which is useless based on your current situation. 2. Now, it sends that important Information to Mac...

Linear Algebra - What is it?

Linear Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with vectors , matrices , and linear transformations . It's one of the foundations of data science, machine learning, and computer graphics. In Simple Words : Linear algebra helps us: Solve equations with multiple variables ( variables - a value, number or anything that changes anytime eg, Mark, Temperature, Price ) Represent and transform data using matrices ( Matrix - numbers arranged in rows and columns) Understand how systems behave (like how multiple inputs affect an output) Key Concepts : Scalars – Scalar means Magnitude(Speed). So it is just a single number (e.g., 8 or 6 or 10 etc..) Vectors – Vector means Both Magnitude (Speed) and Direction. So it is a ordered list of numbers (e.g., [2, 3] or [4, 5] or [10, 50] etc..) Matrices – A grid of numbers arranged in rows and Columns  (e.g., a 2x2 matrix or 4x4 matrix) Matrix Multiplication – Combining 2 or more matrices to transform data. Linear Transformation - Multiply...

What is a Python Library?

When we use Python for data analysis, machine learning, or any programming, we do not write each and every code. Why Should we? Some experts already wrote code for us and packed it as a Library. This reusable collection of code is called a Python Library . A library in Python is like a ready-made toolbox. Instead of building every tool yourself, you take the tools from the toolbox and start using it in your code. Why do we need Python Libraries? Save time – We do not write the same code again and again. Easy to use – Just install, import, and start using. Powerful features – Some libraries can do complex tasks in one line of code. Community support – Big communities maintain them, so they keep improving. Examples of Python Data Science Libraries: Pandas – Works with data tables like Excel, filtering and summarizing data NumPy – Works with numbers, arrays, mathematical calculations Matplotlib – Creates graphs and charts Scikit-learn – For machine learning models like regres...
