Matrices were first formulated in 1850 by English mathematician James Sylvester, although simpler forms may have been used earlier by cultures like the Mayans. The document defines matrices and discusses their types including square, diagonal, identity, transpose, symmetric, skew symmetric, and orthogonal matrices. It also covers matrix operations like addition, multiplication, inverses, and solving systems of linear equations. The applications of matrices are discussed along with references.
