Exploring matrix applications across interdisciplinary domains: insights from business, geology and robotics

Abstract

The paper focuses on exploring the use of matrices in Business, Geology, and Robotics, in order to determine how such combination can solve practical aspects of problems and promote multidisciplinary approach. In this regard, the paper reviews the principles and practices of matrices as a mathematical tool, to demonstrate their relevance within the context of scientific and engineering activities. This research deploys complex and advanced matrix techniques and explores the impacts of these techniques to problems in each of the fields and demonstrate their practicality through the application of real-world applications. The methodology provides a comprehensive review of matrix application by using quantitative methods. The results show the importance of use of matrices in these fields. In the field of Robotics, it extends to motion control and spatial orientation through the use of matrices. In Geology, matrix methods are applied in analyzing seismic data so as to produce a more accurate explanation and summary of the earth’s internal structure. In Business, matrices were utilized in establishing the profit margin on businesses and to help manage investment portfolios.
