Most of the analysis methods to determine the dynamic response of structures are formulated in terms of vectors and matrices. Because matrices and vectors are not only used for dynamic analysis of discrete systems, but also for system identification of the dynamical properties of systems it is important to have a clear understanding of how matrices and vectors should be properly utilized.
