Homework Statement
Is it possible to find the norm of a matrix? Not a column or row matrix which is a vector, but like on a 2x2 or 3x3 matrix?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of calculating the norm of matrices, specifically 2x2 and 3x3 matrices. Participants clarify that the norm of a matrix is a measure of its size or length, and various definitions exist, including the Frobenius norm and the operator norm. The conversation emphasizes the importance of defining the type of norm being used, as different norms yield different results. Overall, the norm of a matrix is indeed computable and is a fundamental concept in linear algebra.
