Why Do We Call Matrix and Vector Operations 'Multiplication' and 'Addition'?

In this video, we explore the reasons behind the terminology used for matrix and vector operations, such as 'matrix multiplication' and 'vector addition'. We discuss how these operations are analogous to the familiar number operations of multiplication and addition, and how the distributive law provides the mathematical justification for using these terms. The video also highlights the importance of understanding the visual intuition behind these operations, as provided by resources like the 3Blue1Brown YouTube series on linear algebra.
