This chapter describes the data structures and functions for matrix algebras in GAP. See chapter Algebras for the description of all those aspects that concern general algebras.
More about Matrix Algebras, Bases for Matrix Algebras).
The next sections describe functions for matrix algebras, first those that can be applied not only for matrix algebras (see IsMatAlgebra, Zero and One for Matrix Algebras, Functions for Matrix Algebras, RepresentativeOperation for Matrix Algebras), and then specific matrix algebra functions (see MatAlgebra, NullAlgebra, Fingerprint, NaturalModule).
