Can matrices of the same dimension be multiplied?

No. The number of columns of the first matrix needs to be the same as the number of rows of the second.So, matrices can only be multiplied is their dimensions are k*l and l*m. If the matrices are of the same dimension then the number of rows are the same so that k = l, and the number of columns are the same so that l = m. And therefore both matrices are l*l square matrices.

How do you add matrices?

You add matrices by adding their respective terms - e.g. the element in the first row and sixth column of the sum is the sum of the elements in the addends' first rows and sixth columns. Wikipedia has a nice example of matrix addition that I linked below.


Who discovered the matrix?

The first use of matrices to solve equation was back in 300 BC in a Chinese book called Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art by Chiu Chang Suan Shu. They did not use the name matrix. The use of that word came much later and is credited to James Sylvester in 1850.
