A matrix is a twodimensional array often used for linear algebra. For example, if one of a or b is a scalar, then the scalar is combined with each element of the other array. Multiplying a matrix by a scalar means multiplying each element of the matrix by that scalar. So if we want to multiply the scalar 5 times the matrix, ill do a 3 by 2 matrix.
