Hello,

Matrices are a collection of numbers arranged into a fixed number of rows and columns.Usually the numbers are real numbers.

Whereas,rank of a matrix is defined as the maximum number of linearly dependent column vectors in the matrix or maximum number of linearly dependent row vectors.

I hope this was useful.

Hi Duga,

Matrix (plural:matrices) refers to an ordered rectangular arrangement of numbers which are either real or complex or functions. We enclose Matrix by [ ] or ( ).

Rank of a matrix is defined as the maximum number of linearly independent column vectors in the matrix or the maximum number of linearly independent row vectors in the matrix.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!
