The TeX command \bordermatrix is used to create a matrix with labeled rows and columns. Its syntax resembles traditional Plain TeX and does not use \begin{} and \end{} environments. Here is a simple example of its standard usage: \bordermatrix{ & c_1 & c_2 \cr r_1 & a_{11} & a_{12} \cr r_2 & a_{21} & a_{22} } Individual rows are terminated with \cr. Note that \bordermatrix places parentheses around the main body of the matrix by default. Package kbordermatrix provides a command of the same name which uses by default square brackets and the LaTeX syntax for tabular lines and columns. The first column and line of the matrix are defined as label.
