In mathematics the '''identity matrix''' is the [[matrix]] which, when [[multiplication|multiplying]], does not change the size or values of the matrix by which it is multiplied. The identity matrix is usually denoted <math>I</math> or <math>I_n</math>, and the operation of multiplication is described as,
