    See: Matrix multiplication for how to multiply two matrices. Personally, I would implement the naive method because it's much easier, but if you want better performance for larger matrices, there's Strassen's method or Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm (only use these for large matrices, they're considerably slower for smaller ones).

    If you're unsure how to program in Java, I recommend reading: Leaerning the Java Language.

    Do you have to use a BufferedReader? If you can, use the Scanner object. It makes reading in data (especially numbers) much easier.

    If you must use a BufferedReader, what I would do is read in "words" (elements separated by spaces), then use Integer.parseInt() or Double.parseDouble() to get the data value from the string. Scanner has methods called nextInt() and nextDouble() which basically automate this process.
