Scalar multiplication of matrices is associative and distributive

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

Scalar multiplication is associative: $(cd)A=c(dA)$. It also distributes: $c(A+B)=cA+cB$ and $(c+d)A=cA+dA$. All identities follow entrywise from field laws. For example, $2(3A)=6A$.
