Definition 1 Definition 1. (a) An $m \times n$ matrix with entries from a field $F$ is a rectangular array of the form $$\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & \cdots & a_{2n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \\ a_{m1} & a_{m2} & \cdots & a_{mn} \end{pmatrix}$$ where each entry $a_{ij}\, (1 \leq i \leq m, 1 \leq j \leq n)$ is an element of $F$. (b) The entries $a_{ij..
