>>13992969>>13992969matrix: a bunch of numbers, literally a bookkeeping tool, has no meaning, but has rules when you do mathematical operations on them.
Certain tensors can be represented as a matrix. Tensors are a generalization of numbers, like vectors.
tensors can be the solution of the equation a*X=b, the same way when we write a*x=b
where x,X are the number (tensor) and a and b can be numbers(vectors)
This is a linear equation(only 'scaling') but because it can have multiple rows(the vector having multiple elements) it may scale every single element of the vector (in 3D this is 3 elements) and spit out the a vector with the same dimension. This is why it's called multilinear.
