Abstract
The present and the following chapter deal with what can be called, rather broadly, the algebra of matrices. The nature of matrix algebra and the kind of problems in which it is useful need to be made clear at the outset. Some of the mystery which seems to surround the subject, and some of its complexity, will then disappear. An excellent introduction, simple and clear, is to be found in Kemeny, Snell and Thompson (1957).
