Abstract
In Chap. 2 we introduced the basic ideas behind matrices, and in Chap. 3 we saw that there is scalar value, called the determinant, associated with a matrix. In this chapter we return to matrix notation and explore matrix algebra. As matrix algebra is a relatively large subject and includes matrices of complex numbers, this chapter is confined to topics relevant to computer graphics transforms.
