even though DE These strange results actually pertain only to the special class of matrices known singular matrices, of which the matrices A, B, and C are examples. (Roughly, these matr ccs contain a row which is a multiple of another row.) Neverthcless, such examples d reveal the pitfalls of unwarranted extension of algcbraic theorems to matrix opcrations.
