Let $A$ and $B$ be $n\,\times \,n$ complex Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrices with eigenvalues ${{a}_{1}}\,\ge \,\cdots \,\ge \,{{a}_{n}}$ and ${{b}_{1}}\,\ge \,\cdots \,\ge \,{{b}_{n}}$ . All possible inertia values, ranks, and multiple eigenvalues of $A\,+\,B$ are determined. Extension of the results to the sum of $k$ matrices with $k\,>\,2$ and connections of the results to other subjects such as algebraic combinatorics are also discussed.
