Mathematical Terminology for Data within Arrays

An operations manager uses a rectangular array of numbers to organize the daily production output of three different manufacturing plants over a five-day work week. Each individual numerical value located at a specific row and column intersection, such as the value 1200{}1200 representing the units produced by one plant on a Tuesday, is formally referred to by a specific mathematical name.
