+{{page>matrix}}
+{{page>(i,j) entry}}
+==== Examples ====
+  * $B=\begin{bmatrix} 99&3&5\\7&-20&14\end{bmatrix}$ is a $2\times 3$ matrix
+    * the $(1,1)$ entry of $B$ is $b_{11}=99$
+    * the $(1,3)$ entry of $B$ is $b_{13}=5$
+    * the $(2,1)$ entry of $B$ is $b_{21}=7$
+    * etc.
+  * $(3,2)$ entry of $B$?
+    * undefined!
+==== Examples =====
+  * $\left[\begin{smallmatrix}3\\2\\4\\0\\-1\end{smallmatrix}\right]$ is a $5\times 1$ matrix.
+    * A **column vector**: matrix with just one column.
+  * $\begin{bmatrix}3&2&4&0&-1\end{bmatrix}$ is a $1\times 5$ matrix.
+    * A **row vector**: matrix with just one row.
+  * These have the same entries, but a different "shape", or "size".
+  * They are different matrices (not equal).
+==== Size of a matrix ====
+{{page>same size}}
+==== Equality of matrices ====
+{{page>equal matrices}}
+==== Examples ====
+  * $\begin{bmatrix}3\\2\\4\\0\\-1\end{bmatrix}\ne \begin{bmatrix}3&2&4&0&-1\end{bmatrix}$, since these matrices have different sizes: the first is $5\times 1$ but the second is $1\times 5$.
+==== ====
+  * $\begin{bmatrix}1\\2\end{bmatrix}\ne\begin{bmatrix}1 &0\\2&0\end{bmatrix}$
+    * not the same size.
+  * $\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}\ne \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\1&1\end{bmatrix}$
+    * same size but the $(2,1)$ entries are different.
+==== ====
+  * If $\begin{bmatrix}3x&7y+2\\8z-3&w^2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2z\\\sqrt2&9\end{bmatrix}$ then we know that all the corresponding entries are equal
+  * We get four equations:\begin{align*}3x&=1\\7y+2&=2z\\8z-3&=\sqrt2\\w^2&=9\end{align*}

 ==== Matrix multiplication ====
-  * We want to define $AB$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrices of "compatible" sizes
+  * We want to define $AB$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrices of "compatible" sizes (not just rows and columns)
