Preliminaries



In [13]:

    
# Load library
import numpy as np

Create Matrices



In [14]:

    
# Create matrix
matrix_a = np.array([[1, 1, 1],
                     [1, 1, 1],
                     [1, 1, 2]])

# Create matrix
matrix_b = np.array([[1, 3, 1],
                     [1, 3, 1],
                     [1, 3, 8]])

Add Matrices



In [15]:

    
# Add two matrices
np.add(matrix_a, matrix_b)









    Out[15]:





array([[ 2,  4,  2],
       [ 2,  4,  2],
       [ 2,  4, 10]])

Subtract Matrices



In [16]:

    
# Subtract two matrices
np.subtract(matrix_a, matrix_b)









    Out[16]:





array([[ 0, -2,  0],
       [ 0, -2,  0],
       [ 0, -2, -6]])
