You add the corresponding elements to get your result.
This is one of the easier matrix operations. Here is an example:
[a b c]+[g h i] = [a+g, b+h, c+i]
[d e f].. [j k l] ... [d+j,. e+k,. f+l]
Ignore the "."; it's the only way to space things right now.
Since we are adding corresponding elements, the matrices must have the same dimensions; the answer must also have the same dimension.
