Abstract
The aim of the contribution is to trace the origin and development of the matrix theory, which took long time to become a fully accepted theory and which is closely connected to the study of systems of linear equations, to the theory of determinants and to the theory of bilinear and quadratic forms. We shall list the most important dates in which basic notions of the matrix theory were introduced and of course we shall mention famous mathematicians and their works on this part of linear algebra.
