@ColonelPanic, that's probably because for a matrix $A$ operating on an $n$ dimensional vector $mathcal{x}$ (i.e. $A mathbf{x} = mathbf{y}$) $mathbf{y}$ is $m$ dimensional. In other words, it puts the input dimension before the output dimension alphabetically.

Always check and make sure you have the right convention for the occasion. Usually m x n is rows x columns. I like to remember this as being in REVERSE alphabetical order - Rows by Columns, or R first then C. However, in Boyce & DiPrima's book "Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems" an m x n matrix has m vertical columns and n horizontal rows.
However, when addressing elements within a matrix, it's the opposite. The element "a sub i,j" references the element in the ith row and jth column.
Lesson? Always check to make sure you have the correct convention!

Yes... It's m-rows and n-Columns.
Here is an example, how you can generate and read a matrix in JavaScript :)
let createMatrix = (m, n) => {
let [row, column] = [[], []],
rowColumn = m * n
for (let i = 1; i <= rowColumn; i++) {
column.push(i)
if (i % n === 0) {
row.push(column)
column = []
}
}
return row
}
let setColorForEachElement = (matrix, colors) => {
let row = matrix.map(row => {
let column = row.map((column, key) => {
return { number: column, color: colors[key] }
})
return column
})
return row
}
const colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'purple', 'brown', 'yellow', 'orange', 'grey']
const matrix = createMatrix(6, 8)
const colorApi = setColorForEachElement(matrix, colors)
let table ='<table>'
colorApi.forEach(row => {
table+='<tr>'
row.forEach(column => table +=`<td style='background: ${column.color};'>${column.number}<td>` )
table+='</tr>'
})
document.write(table);

Yes it's always "{number of rows} by {number of columns}"

You can name the variables how you like though. Curiously "m by n matrix" is about twice as common as "n by m matrix" in Google search results.

@ColonelPanic, that's probably because for a matrix $A$ operating on an $n$ dimensional vector $mathcal{x}$ (i.e. $A mathbf{x} = mathbf{y}$) $mathbf{y}$ is $m$ dimensional. In other words, it puts the input dimension before the output dimension alphabetically.
