Practice:

A fairly simple way to remember how to do matrix multiplication:
Assume that two matrices multiply together as AB = C.
You need to write out each entries of the product, and then place this entry with a row of A and a column of B which numbered as subscriptions of this entry.
e.g., in the Product Matrix, C₁₁ represents Row-1 of A multiplies Column-1 of B;
C₂₁ represents Row-2 of A multiplies Column-1 of B.
So on and so forth, write down all the entries of the product entries, and then use dot product to calculate each one.
