Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

A⁻¹ = (1 / |A|) · adj(A)
A · adj(A) = |A| · I
|adj(A)| = |A|ⁿ⁻¹
(AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹ A⁻¹
AX = B ⇒ X = A⁻¹ B

Matrix Inversion Method for Linear Systems

System AX = B has unique consistent solution X = A⁻¹B if |A| ≠ 0 (non-singular matrix).

Symmetric & Skew-Symmetric Decomposition

Any square matrix A = ½(A + Aᵀ) [symmetric] + ½(A - Aᵀ) [skew-symmetric with zero main diagonal].

Exam Day Revision & Problem Solving Checklist

  • ✓Matrix multiplication is associative but generally non-commutative (AB ≠ BA)
  • ✓Calculate cofactor matrix: A_ij = (-1)ⁱ⁺ʲ M_ij
  • ✓Review Concept Maps & Flashcard Summary before tackling multi-step practice questions

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
