Here's a very general question: how would you guys write out a tutorial on matrix multiplication? Maybe with indicative arrows in order to show which line associates with its correspondent column, I really don't know how I would typeset these on LaTeX. Could you kindly give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

1this is very opinion based question and actually is not related to (la) tex problems. – Zarko Dec 16 '18 at 20:10

1I think it actually is, if you follow the way I've asked: how could I correlate two matrices with arrows, for example, in a way I could correlate the terms that'd be multiplied. I couldn't figure out myself how would I do such a thing. – Italo Marinho Dec 16 '18 at 20:30

than pleas show us what you try so far and provide at least a sketch what you like to obtain ... – Zarko Dec 16 '18 at 21:19

This doesn't exactly give you what you ask, but it may be a good starting point: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/168035/… – Steven B. Segletes Dec 18 '18 at 11:41

That was good! It gave me some hints of how i'm going to proceed. I just needed this start, actually. Awesome! – Italo Marinho Dec 18 '18 at 19:21
