Abstract

The word "matrix" comes from the Latin word for "womb" because of the way that the matrix acts as a womb for the data that it holds.  The first known example of the use matrices was found in a Chinese text called Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art, which is thought to have originated somewhere between 300 B.C. and 200 A.D.  The modern method of matrix solution was developed by a German mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss.  There are many different types of matrices used in different modern career fields.  We introduce and discuss the different types of matrices that play important roles in various fields.
