Dimensions of a Matrix

The number of rows and columns of a matrix, written in the form rows×columns. The matrix below has 2 rows and 3 columns, so its dimensions are 2×3. This is read aloud, "two by three."

Note: One way to remember that Rows come first and Columns come second is by thinking of RC Cola®.
