| 00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Math. |
| 00:04 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to: Write a Matrix |
| 00:08 | And Align equations on a particular character |
| 00:12 | For this, let us first open our example Writer document that we created in our previous tutorials: MathExample1.odt. |
| 00:25 | Notice all the previous example formulae which we wrote using Math. |
| 00:30 | Now let us scroll to the last page of the document and press Control Enter to go to a new page. |
| 00:39 | Let us call Math by clicking Insert menu, then Object and then Formula. |
| 0049: | In mathematics, a Matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or symbols, which are called elements. |
| 00:59 | Math has separate mark up to represent a Matrix and its rows and columns of elements. |
| 01:08 | I have the examples written already so as to save time . I will copy and paste them. Now we’ll learn how to write the 2 by 3 matrix. |
| 01:24 | This matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns. |
| 01:29 | We will use the markup ‘Matrix’ and include all its elements within curly brackets in the Formula Editor window. |
| 01:40 | Notice that the elements in a row are separated by one hash symbol. |
| 01:48 | And the rows are separated by two hash symbols. |
| 01:55 | Use parentheses to enclose the matrix in brackets. |
| 02:01 | Now, notice that the brackets are short and do not cover all the elements in the matrix entirely. |
| 02:12 | They are of the same size as each element, and hence are not scalable to the size of the matrix. |
| 02:22 | To solve this, we can use the words ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ |
| 02:28 | i.e.Left just before open bracket and Right before close bracket to make the brackets scalable. |
| 02:41 | Let me copy and paste the next example. |
| 02:46 | So a 4 by1 matrix will look like as shown on the screen. |
| 02:52 | Notice the scalable brackets in the Writer gray box. |
| 02:57 | The markup for the matrix is as shown on the screen. |
| 03:03 | Here we can also use square brackets instead of parentheses. |
| 03:09 | So using the matrix mark up, we can write matrices of any dimensions. |
| 03:17 | Now let us write an example for Matrix addition. |
| 03:23 | Let us go to a new line in the Formula Editor Window. |
| 03:28 | We can press the Enter key twice to add two blank lines. |
| 03:36 | First let us write two example 2 by 3 matrices side by side as shown on the screen. |
| 03:46 | Next, let us add a plus symbol in between these two matrices to denote addition. |
| 03:54 | To do this, we can simply click between the gap of these two matrices in the Writer Gray box. |
| 04:03 | Notice that the cursor in the Formula Editor Window is placed roughly between the two matrix mark ups here. |
| 04:12 | Type plus in between these two matrices |
| 04:17 | So there is the plus symbol. |
| 04:20 | Next let us add an ‘equal to’ symbol at the end with long gaps |
| 04:28 | And then the third matrix on the right denoting the addition. |
| 04:35 | Notice that we have used Greek characters in our example. |
| 04:42 | So there is the result of the addition of two matrices. |
| 04:47 | Let us save our work. |
| 04:50 | Next, let us see an example of multiplying a matrix by a number. |
| 04:58 | We will write a 2 by 3 matrix and multiply it by 4. |
| 05:04 | We will first write ‘4 times’ followed by the matrix. |
| 05:10 | Let me copy the matrix and paste it in FEW. |
| 05:17 | Next let us write the ‘equal to’ symbol at the end with long gaps |
| 05:24 | Followed by the matrix product. I am copying and pasting the mark up for the matrix product. |
| 05:33 | So there is the product of multiplying a 2 by 3 matrix by a number. |
| 05:40 | Now, we can format matrices by clicking on the Format menu and choosing the font, font sizes, alignment or the spacing. |
| 05:51 | For example, let us choose spacing. |
| 05:55 | In the category drop down on the right, let us choose Matrices. |
| 06:02 | And change the line spacing to 20 percent and column spacing to 50 percent. Click OK. |
| 06:17 | Notice how the matrices and their elements are well spaced out. |
| 06:23 | Let us save our work now by clicking on File and Save. |
| 06:29 | Now, we can also use matrices to write two or three equations and then align them on a particular character. |
| 06:37 | For example, we can write simultaneous equations and align them on the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 06:46 | Let us write a set of Simultaneous equations now as shown on the screen. |
| 06:52 | Notice that they are not perfectly aligned on the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 06:58 | So, here we can use the matrix mark up to align them. |
| 07:03 | We can separate each part in the equation and treat the parts as elements of a matrix. |
| 07:10 | Here, 2x is a part, y is a part, ‘equal to’ character is a part and so on. |
| 07:20 | Press enter twice. Copy and paste the mark up. |
| 07:26 | And, thus the new mark up looks like as shown on the screen. |
| 07:31 | Here, we have used the matrix mark up, treated each part of the equation as an element and separated them by # symbols. |
| 07:43 | We have used the double hash symbols to separate the two equations. |
| 07:50 | So there is a perfectly aligned set of equations. |
| 07:56 | Let us write another set of equations. |
| 07:59 | Here let us suppose that we don’t have equal number of parts on the left and the right of the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 08:09 | Notice the equations on the screen, and they are not aligned on the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 08:16 | Let us rewrite the mark up to align them. Press enter twice. I am copying and pasting the markup. |
| 08:25 | So here, we have used align r and align l to align the parts to the right and the left of the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 08:36 | And there is our perfectly aligned set of equations. |
| 08:41 | Here is an assignment for you: |
| 08:43 | Write steps for multiplying a 2x3 matrix by a 3x1 matrix. Use formatting to change the fonts, sizes and the spacing. |
| 08:56 | Write a set of three equations. Align the equations at the ‘equal to’ character. |
| 09:04 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Matrix and Aligning equations in LibreOffice Math. |
| 09:11 | To summarize, we learned the following topics: |
| 09:15 | Write a Matrix And Align equations on a particular character |
