Column Matrices: A matrix is said to be a column matrix if it has only one column. In general, A = [ aij ] m × 1 is a column matrix of order m × 1.
Row Matrices: A matrix is said to be a column matrix if it has only one Row. In general, A = [ aij ] 1 × n is a column matrix of order 1 x n.
Square Matrices: A matrix, in which the number of rows is equal to the number of columns, is said to be a square matrix. Thus an m × n matrix is said to be a square matrix if m = n and is known as a square matrix of order‘ n’. In general, A = [ aij ] m × m is a square matrix of order m.
