Math & Science ⇒ type outside the borders of matrix

[rossy]

Hi all,
I have the following problem. I have a matrix and i want to type some explanation against each row outside the borders of the matrix. For example (first row) -> some text. I'm out of idea. Will appreciate if someone can help me.

Hi,

you could use several array environments, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\[
\left[
\begin{array}{ccc}
  1 & 2 & 3\\
  4 & 5 & 6\\
  7 & 8 & 9
\end{array}
\right]\hspace{-5pt}
\begin{array}{l}
  \}\\ \\
  \}\\
\end{array}
\begin{array}{l}
  \text{some explanatory text.}\\ \\
  \text{some other text.}\\
\end{array}
\]

\end{document}
