latex matrices
First the basic environments which could be used for a matrix, all of them are provide by usepackage amsmath.matrix without brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{matrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{matrix} $
|
|
matrix with parentheses brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{pmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{pmatrix} $
|
|
matrix with brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{bmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{bmatrix}$
|
|
matrix with curly brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{Bmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{Bmatrix}$
|
|
matrix with vertical bar brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{vmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{vmatrix}$
|
|
matrix with double vertical bar brackets
| input | output | |
$\begin{Vmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\
b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\
c_1 & c_2 & c_3
\end{Vmatrix}$

matrix in line
A small matrix in line need amsmath, too.

more than 10 tab stops in a matrix
A matrix as show above is limit to 10 columns. If you want to use more than 10 columns just set MaxMatrixCols to the desired value for example 15:
\setcounter{MaxMatrixCols}{15}
