There are two aspects to your question on multidimensional matrix. First is purely mathematical and the second, while related to math, emerges in the field of computer science.

Matrix represents vectors, systems of linear equation and in general it is a “table consisting of abstract quantities that can be added and multiplied” (1) The horizontal lines in a matrix are called rows and the vertical lines are called columns. A matrix with m rows and n columns is called an m-by-n matrix (written m×n) and m and n are called its dimensions. The dimensions of a matrix are always given with the number of rows first, then the number of columns. So a vector in three dimensions like V=(2i+3j+5k) can be expressed as three by one (3×1) dimensional matrix.

-------2
V= [ 3 ]
------ 5

Please ignore these "----" .

Important to note that: while a space is n dimensional matrices are m×n dimensional.

A new term that appeared in computer science is perhaps the one you are after. It is well defined in (4) "A multidimensional matrix is a new name for a technique
to make databases simple and understandable.
Multidimensional matrices allow visualisation of the
database as a “data cube” of dimensions. The different
dimensions are intimately related and can be stored,
viewed and analysed from different perspectives (for
example, a spreadsheet exemplifies a two-dimensional
matrix with the data cells arranged in rows and columns,
each being a dimension)."(4)

Let me know if it was helpful.

What kind of matrix that u r talking about ??

i know two kinds of matrices:
1) mathematical matrics [ & determinants]
2) computer matrix [in programming (C++ language)]

If u r talking about the first type (mathematical matrix):
i learnt only the one dimentional matrix & i don't think so that there is a multi dimentional matrix in mathematics

If u r talking about the second type (computer matrix)
i also learnt in programming the one dimentional matrix & two dimentional matrix in C++ language, & i think that there is a multi dimentional matrix in computer sience

This multi dimentional matrix in C++ language (or any another language) is the matrix that have more than two dimentions (i, j & k), we can make a matrix that have 3, 4, 5, ...... dimensions on computer

i hope u got ur point from my explanation

The matrix is a mathematical structure. It is a table of rows and columns. The matrix has a locus that returns the value stored in it. A multi dimensional matrix has a locus that is by itself a matrix.

a simple matrix, like in excell is a two dimentional matrix, a cube could be represented in the computer as a three dimentional matrix, therefore a multi-dimentional matrix is just multiple dimentions in a matrix.

watching the matrix using 3d glasses?
