The transpose of a matrix

is a matrix

whose

column is equal to the

row of

.
The inverse of a

matrix

is a matrix

such that

is the identity matrix.
The trace of a matrix is the sum of the entries on the main diagonal (upper-left to lower-right).
The determinant is computed from all the entries of the matrix and is nonzero precisely when the matrix is nonsingular, that is, when the equation

always has a unique solution.
The matrix rank is the number of linearly independent columns and is equal to three precisely when the matrix is nonsingular.
A number

is an eigenvalue of

if there is some nonzero vector

such that

; the vector

is called an eigenvector. In the result, the

row of the eigenvector array is an eigenvector of unit length associated with the

eigenvalue in the eigenvalue array.
