Product of Real Matrices

The product of an m x n and an n x p real matrix is the m x p matrix whose (i,k) entry is the sum over j of AijA_ij BjkB_jk.

Statement

In the setting of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces, let m,n,p∈Nm,n,p\in\mathbb{N}, and let A∈Mm×n(R)A\in\mathcal{M}_{m\times n}(\mathbb{R}) and B∈Mn×p(R)B\in\mathcal{M}_{n\times p}(\mathbb{R}) be real matrices, with entries AijA_{ij} and BjkB_{jk}.

The product AB∈Mm×p(R)AB\in\mathcal{M}_{m\times p}(\mathbb{R}) is the value at (A,B)(A,B) of the map of The Matrix Product, Matrix-Vector Product, Transpose, Trace, Identity Matrix and Standard Basis Vectors Exist and Are Unique (i), so that

(AB)ik=∑j=1nAijBjk(i∈[m], k∈[p]).(AB)_{ik}=\sum_{j=1}^{n}A_{ij}B_{jk}\qquad(i\in[m],\ k\in[p]).

For matrices, juxtaposition denotes this product, not the pointwise product of Pointwise Operations on Real-Valued Maps (i).
