The discussion centers on the search for a reference book that covers properties and theorems related to block matrix multiplication for undergraduate studies. Two recommended texts are Howard Eves' "Elementary Matrix Theory" and Howard Anton's "Elementary Linear Algebra," particularly the 7th edition, which detail the necessary conditions for partitioning in block matrix multiplication. The suggestions provided successfully addressed the initial query.

I still can't find a book with properties and theorems involving block matrices multiplication to reference in my undergraduate work.
Both Howard Eves' Elementary Matrix Theory and Howard Anton's Elementary Linear Algebra(at least since 7th ed., I'm not sure about before that) both cover the conditions that need to hold on the partitions in order to multiply block matrices using the products of the respective blocks.

thank you very much, with your help I got what I wanted
May anyone/someone please suggest/recommend some books on learning Galois Theory? Before learning this pure mathematics subject, is the knowledge of group theory required in order to study Galois Theory? I have the e-textbook of Galois Theory by Ian Stewart, 4th edition but was wondering if there are other Galois Theory books for practice.
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student.
I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
