latex matrix package code example

Example 1: latex pmatrix

Trying to typeset an inline matrix here
$\begin{pmatrix}
  a & b\\ 
  c & d
\end{pmatrix}$ 
but it looks too big, so let's try 
$\big(\begin{smallmatrix}
  a & b\\
  c & d
\end{smallmatrix}\big)$ 
instead.

Example 2: how to make matrix latex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$$
\begin{bmatrix} 
a & b & c \\
c & d & d\\
e & f & g \\
\end{bmatrix}
\quad
$$
\end{document}
