Abstract
In this paper, the real symmetric matrices are constructed using the ⊗ as a union of square matrices of lower dimensions to generate higher dimension real symmetric matrices. Three different ways for construction of symmetric matrices are provided in this paper.
Keywords: Real symmetric matrices, odd matrix, even matrix
