The _Kronecker product_ or _direct product_ of a pair of [matrices](Matrices.md) is a pairwise operation between pairs of matrices denoted by $\otimes.$ It is related to the [tensor product](Tensor%20product%20between%20vector%20spaces.md) since [all matrices are also linear maps between vector spaces.](linear%20map#^e0e09c) %%This article is incomplete and we need to elaborate on this connection followed by an example calculation.%% #MathematicalFoundations/Algebra/AbstractAlgebra/LinearAlgebra/MultiLinearAlgebra #MathematicalFoundations/Algebra/AbstractAlgebra/LinearAlgebra/Operators/Matrices
