The video tutorial explains scalar multiplication of matrices, where a real number multiplies each element of a matrix. It covers three examples: simplifying half of matrix A, three times matrix B, and negative matrix A. Each example is demonstrated step-by-step, showing how to apply the scalar to each matrix element. The tutorial concludes with a summary of scalar multiplication as the product of a real number and a matrix.
