# Function matrix
Create a Matrix. The function creates a new `math.Matrix` object from
an `Array`. A Matrix has utility functions to manipulate the data in the
matrix, like getting the size and getting or setting values in the matrix.
Supported storage formats are 'dense' and 'sparse'.
## Syntax
```js
math.matrix() // creates an empty matrix using default storage format (dense).
math.matrix(data) // creates a matrix with initial data using default storage format (dense).
math.matrix('dense') // creates an empty matrix using the given storage format.
math.matrix(data, 'dense') // creates a matrix with initial data using the given storage format.
math.matrix(data, 'sparse') // creates a sparse matrix with initial data.
math.matrix(data, 'sparse', 'number') // creates a sparse matrix with initial data, number data type.
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`data` | Array &#124; Matrix | A multi dimensional array
`format` | string | The Matrix storage format
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
Matrix | The created matrix
## Examples
```js
let m = math.matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
m.size() // Array [2, 2]
m.resize([3, 2], 5)
m.valueOf() // Array [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 5]]
m.get([1, 0]) // number 3
```
