Extract

The concept of the direct product is widely used in the theory of groups, algebras, vector spaces and allied topics, but its use as a manipulative tool in matrix algebra is less common.

The present note shows how the direct product of matrices arises in elementary work, derives some of its more important properties, and gives some examples of its use.
