The mold used to cast a letter of type in hot-metal composition. pl. matrices

A rectangular two-dimensional array of numbers that can be thought of as a linear operator on vectors.

a collection of numbers if you dont know

a homogenous collection of numbers with a particular shape, like a table of numbers of the same type

a table of ordered entries - usually numbers, but sometimes functions

The microstructure in a casting.

A small, reusable plate of metal that held a forward-facing impression of a letter or other character. The matrix was placed inside a mold to cast as many pieces of identical type as were needed for its particular letter or character.

mold used in the production of phonograph records, type, or other relief surface

a mold or a cast which gives origin or form to an object

The base from which the print is made. This can be anything - a standard metal plate or lithographic stone, a potato or vinyl record, a stencil - anything from which you print.

The actual printing surface (copper plate, wood block, and so on) which bears the incised or relief image.

a flat round plate upon which is etched, incised, or engraved a generally spiral groove containing information that can be converted to sound

A method of encoding multiple audio channels into two channels for transmission or storage.

a discretized operator

For home theater, refers to a method of electronically combining and separating signals to create multiple-channel playback from two-channel sources. Matrixed audio channels are less precise than discrete.

In sound recording, a matrix can refer to a disc in the early stages of processing a record for mass production; see mastering and pressing process discussion at gramophone record. Matrix can also refer to the encoding of several channels of audio into fewer channels to be decoded back into several channels later.
