Definition
Let $\mathbf A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix.
For each $i \in \closedint 1 m$, the rows of $\mathbf A$ are the ordered $n$-tuples:
- $r_i = \tuple {a_{i 1}, a_{i 2}, \ldots, a_{i n} }$
where $r_i$ is called the $i$th row of $\mathbf A$.
A row of an $m \times n$ matrix can also be treated as a $1 \times n$ row matrix in its own right:
- $r_i = \begin {bmatrix} a_{i 1} & a_{i 2} & \cdots & a_{i n} \end {bmatrix}$
for $i = 1, 2, \ldots, m$.
