Matrix Multiplication Calculator

Multiply two 2×2 matrices.

Worth Knowing

Matrix multiplication is where matrices stop behaving like numbers: it's not commutative, so A×B generally differs from B×A, and the order encodes the order in which transformations are applied. Each entry of the product is a dot product of a row with a column, which is why the inner dimensions must match. This operation is the computational heart of graphics, machine learning, and physics — chaining transformations means multiplying their matrices.

How to Use
