Fun Fact
Multiplying any matrix by a unit matrix leaves the original matrix unchanged, similar to how multiplying a number by 1 keeps its value the same.
Historical Context
The concept of the identity matrix emerged alongside the formal development of linear algebra in the 19th century, particularly through the work of mathematicians like Arthur Cayley, who helped establish matrix theory as a core mathematical discipline.
