||Let us change the font size to 18 point and alignment to '''Left'''.
|-
|| '''Slide''':

'''Matrix'''

|| Let us now see what''' matrix''' is?

'''Matrix ''' is a rectangular '''array '''of numbers or symbols, called '''elements'''.

'''Math''' has a separate '''markup''' to represent a '''matrix'''.

|-
|| Show the text editor with examples.
||I have written a few examples of matrices in a text editor.

I will copy and paste them to save time.
|-
|| '''Highlight in Formula Editor'''.

Copy and paste:

'''"Example of a 2x3 Matrix:" newline newline'''

'''A ~=~ ( matrix {a # b # c ## d # e# f } ) newline newline'''
|| This is a matrix markup for a''' 2 by 3 matrix'''.
|-
|| '''Highlight in Formula Editor'''.

Point mouse over '''matrix ''' word.

Point mouse over individual '''<nowiki># </nowiki>'''symbol

Point mouse over '''<nowiki>##</nowiki>''' symbols.

Point mouse over '''(''' and ''')'''.

Point mouse over '''( '''and ''') ''' in '''Writer ''' gray box
|| This '''matrix '''has''' 2 rows''' and '''3 columns.'''

Here we have used the '''matrix '''markup.

We have included its elements in curly brackets.

Elements are separated using a '''hash ''' symbol.

Rows in the ''' matrix''' are separated using two '''hash '''symbols.

'''Parentheses '''are used''' '''to enclose the elements of a '''matrix'''.
|-
|| Point to the '''Parentheses.'''

Point to the elements.

Point to the elements and parentheses.

Type '''Left ''' just before '''( '''character and '''Right '''before ''') '''character in the formula
|| Notice that the '''parentheses ''' are short.

They do not enclose all the '''elements '''of the '''matrix'''.

'''Parentheses''' are of the same size as each element.

Hence are not ''' scalable''' to the size of the '''matrix'''.

To make the '''parentheses ''' scalable, we will use '''Left ''' and '''Right keywords'''.

Type ''' Left ''' before the opening parenthesis.

Type '''Right ''' before closing the parenthesis.

Notice that parentheses have enclosed all the elements.
|-
||'''Highlight in Formula Editor'''.

Copy and paste

'''"Example of 4x1 Matrix: " newline newline'''

'''B ~=~ Left ( matrix {1##2##3##4} Right ) newline newline'''

Point mouse over''' ( '''and''' )'''
||Next we will see another example '''matrix'''.

The markup for a '''4 by 1 matrix''' '''matrix '''is shown in the '''formula editor'''.

This is a '''4 by 1 matrix''' in the''' preview '''area.

Notice that '''parentheses''' have enclosed all the '''elements'''.

|-
||Change () to [ ]

'''B ~=~ Left [ matrix {1##2##3##4} Right ] newline newline'''

In '''Formula Editor Window''', Point mouse over last line.
||Here we can also use''' square brackets''' instead of '''parentheses'''.

We can write '''matrices '''of any dimension using the '''matrix '''markup.
|-
|| '''Highlight in Formula Editor.'''

Press Enter,''' '''twice

Copy and paste:

'''"Example of 2x3 Matrix Addition:" newline newline'''

'''Left( matrix {a # b # c ## d # e# f } Right)'''

'''Left( matrix {%alpha # %beta # %gamma ## %theta # %eta # %mu } Right) '''
|| Now let us write an example for '''matrix addition.'''

Press the '''Enter, '''key twice to add two blank lines.

Let us write two, '''2 by 3 matrices ''' one beside the other as shown on the screen.

|-
|| Click in between the gap''' '''of these two '''matrices.'''

Point mouse over the cursor in the FEW.

Type '''~+~''' in between these two matrices

|| Next, let us add a plus''' '''sign in between the two '''matrices ''' to denote addition.

Click between the two '''matrices '''and add a plus sign with a '''blank format'''.

|-
|| Type''' ~=~ '''at the end of the last line.
|| Next let us add an ‘'''equal to'''’ symbol at the end with a '''blank format. '''
|-
|| copy and paste at the end:

'''Left( matrix {a+%alpha # b+%beta # c+%gamma ## d+%theta # e+%eta # f+%mu } Right) newline newline'''

Point mouse over the last formula in the Writer gray box.
|| The third '''matrix '''on the right denotes the addition.

Notice that we have used '''Greek '''characters in our example.

|-
|| Click '''Save icon '''on '''Standard ''' toolbar.
|| Let us '''save '''the''' file '''now.
|-
|| Copy and paste:

'''"Example of Matrix Multiplication with a number: " newline newline '''

'''4 times Left( matrix {%alpha # %beta # %gamma ## %theta # %eta # %mu } Right) '''
|| Next, let us see an example of multiplying a '''matrix '''with a number.

This is a '''2 by 3 matrix''' multiplied by 4.

We have written '''4 times''' followed by the '''matrix'''.

|-
|| Type''' ~=~''' at the end.
|| Let us write the ‘'''equal to'''’ symbol at the end with a '''blank space.'''
|-
|| Copy and paste at the end:

'''Left( matrix {4%alpha # 4%beta # 4%gamma ## 4%theta # 4%eta # 4%mu } Right) newline newline newline'''

Point mouse over the last formula in '''Writer '''Gray box

|| This is the markup for the '''matrix product'''.

This is the product of multiplying a '''2 by 3 matrix''' with a number.
|-
|| Click on '''Format''', and point on the sub menu slowly one by one.
|| Now, we will '''format '''the '''matrices.'''

'''Click '''on the '''Format '''menu.

We can choose '''Fonts''', '''Font Sizes''', '''Spacing''' or '''Alignment ''' options for '''formatting'''.

|-
|| Click on the '''Spacing''' option.

Default sizes:

'''Line Spacing '''field 3%

'''Column spacing '''field 30%

Point to the dialog box.

Click on the '''Category''' drop down at the bottom, and choose '''Matrices'''

Change Line spacing to '''20%''', Column spacing to '''40%'''

Click on the '''OK '''button.

Point mouse over Writer gray box.

|| Let us choose the '''Spacing''' option.

'''Spacing''' dialog box opens.

In the '''Category''' drop down, let us choose '''Matrices'''.

Let’s change the '''Line spacing''' to '''20 '''percent and '''Column spacing''' to '''40 '''percent.

Click on the '''OK '''button in the dialog box.

Notice that the matrices and their elements are properly spaced.

|-

'''Assignment '''
|| Pause the video and do this assignment.

* Open '''Math-assignment.odt '''file.
* Write steps to multiply a '''2x3 matrix''' by a''' 3x1 matrix'''.
* Use formatting options to change the '''fonts''', '''font sizes '''and '''spacing'''.

|-
|| Only narration
|| Now, we will use '''matrices '''to write '''simultaneous '''equations and '''align '''them.

|-
|| Press''' Ctrl '''and''' Enter '''keys.
||Press''' Ctrl '''and''' Enter '''keys to go to a new page.
|-
||'''Insert ''' menu >> select '''Object.'''

From the submenu >> select '''Formula''' option.

||Let us open the Math application.

'''Insert''' menu and select '''Object.'''

From the submenu, select '''Formula'''.
|-
||Click on '''Format''' >> Select '''Font size'''.

In the '''Font sizes''' dialog box change the '''Base Size''' to 18 pt.

Click '''OK''' button
||Let us change the font size to 18 point.
|-
|| In '''Formula Editor''' Window, press '''Enter''', key twice,

Copy and paste:

'''"Simultaneous Equations: " newline newline'''

'''2x+y = 8 newline'''

'''x+y=6 newline newline'''

|| Let us now write a set of '''Simultaneous '''equations as shown on the screen.

|-
|| Point mouse over the last formula '''Write '''Gray box

Point mouse over '''2x''', point over '''y''', point over '''<nowiki>=</nowiki>'''.

|| Notice that they are not '''aligned '''at the '''plus sign '''and''' equal to '''character.

We can use the '''matrix markup''' to '''align ''' them.

We can separate each part of the '''equation ''' and treat it as '''element ''' of a '''matrix'''.

Here, '''2x''', '''y''', '''plus''' sign and '''equal to''' are different parts of the equation.
|-
|| In '''Formula Editor''' Window, Press Enter, twice, copy and paste:

'''matrix { 2x # {}+{} # y # {}={} # 8 ## x # {}+{} # y # {}={} # 6 }'''

Point to the curly brackets.

Point mouse over '''<nowiki># </nowiki>''' symbols

Point mouse over '''<nowiki>## </nowiki>''' symbol

|| Press '''Enter'''.

This is a new set of '''matrix '''markup.

Here alignment at the '''plus sign '''and''' equal to sign '''is done using the curly brackets.

Also note that a '''hash ''' symbol is used to separate each element of this equation.

We have used two ''' hash '''symbols to separate the equations.

This is a perfectly '''aligned '''set of equations.
|-
|| In '''Formula Editor''' Window,, press Enter, twice, copy and paste:

'''newline newline'''

'''x+y=2 newline'''

'''x=2-y newline newline'''

Point mouse over last formula in the '''Writer '''Gray box

|| Let us write another set of equations.

Notice the equations''' '''on the screen.

Note that LHS ad RHS do not have equal number of parts.

Hence they are not '''aligned ''' at the plus sign, minus sign and equal to sign.

|-
|| In '''Formula Editor''' Window, press Enter, twice, copy and paste:

'''matrix{ alignr x+y # {}={} # alignl 2 ## alignr x # {}={} # alignl 2-y }'''

In '''Formula Editor''' Window, point mouse over '''alignr '''and '''alignl '''and the ‘'''<nowiki>=</nowiki>'''’ character.

Point mouse over the last formula '''Write '''Gray box
|| Let us write the matrix markup to '''align ''' them.

|-
|| Point to the equatios.
|| Here we have used '''alignr '''and '''alignl '''to align the parts.

Note that the set of equations is '''aligned '''to right and left of the '''equal to''' sign.

|-
|| '''Ctrl + S'''
|| Let us save the changes.
