Figure 1.1 shows direct flights between countries (Philippines, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, UK) by one airline, represented by arrows indicating flight paths. Hotspots highlight 'Philippines' and 'Australia' as examples of elements in a data representation.
Matrices are arrays of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
Each entry in a is called an element.
The of a is defined by its number of rows and columns.
Examiner Tip
Ensure you understand that the position of an element within a matrix is as important as its value. Misinterpreting element positions can lead to errors in calculations.
Matrices are used in Google's PageRank algorithm to determine the importance of web pages based on their link structure.
