What is a Matrix?

• An equation of over 5 numbers or symbols 
• A set of numbers in rows and columns
• A method of finding the n^th value of a series
• A complicated number system

Find A+B

• 8     10
  8      1 
• 12     25
  7     1
• 10     30
  0     1
• can't add two together because the rows dont match columns
