Further Maths: The Identity Matrix

1 is the identity for multiplication and division because when we multiply or divide by 1, we end up with the same as started with.

Zero has the same effect for addition and subtraction.

A matrix comprising of all zeros except the top left to bottom right diagonal of 1s has the same effect on a matrix. This is called the Identity Matrix.
