Symbol of a Matrix

A symbolic representation of a matrix is called symbol of a matrix.

Methods of representation

A matrix is symbolically expressed by using two types of brackets.

Square brackets

Square brackets are most commonly used to represent a matrix symbolically in matrices.

$[\begin{matrix} \end{matrix}]$

The elements of the matrix are arranged in number of rows and number of columns within the square brackets to represent a matrix in mathematics symbolically.

Example

$[\begin{matrix} 4 & 9 & 1 & 0 & 6 \\ 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 9 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 & 5 & 7 \end{matrix}]$

Round brackets

Alternatively, round brackets can also be used to represent a matrix symbolically in matrices.

$(\begin{matrix} \end{matrix})$

The elements of the matrix are displayed within the parentheses to represent a matrix symbolically by using round brackets.

Example

$(\begin{matrix} 4 & 9 & 1 & 0 & 6 \\ 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 9 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 & 5 & 7 \end{matrix})$

Either of them can be used to represent a matrix symbolically in mathematics.
