Extract

Many teachers are now familiar with sets of non-singular matrices which form groups under matrix multiplication. It is not so commonly known that multiplicative groups of singular matrices exist. The purpose of this article is to give some examples of such groups, to discuss their general features, and to indicate a method for the reader to construct further examples when required.
