I am working on my dissertation and I have no idea how I should do this in LaTeX.

And the shading definitely is challenging.

I have only been able to do this so far, I am still an amateur at it.

With TikZ matrix:

documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarymatrix, positioning, patterns, backgrounds
tikzset
 every matrix/.append style=
 matrix of math nodes,
 nodes in empty cells,
 inner sep=0pt,
 outer sep=0pt,

With delimiters like in your image:
[
begintikzpicture
matrix[
 nodes=mylargenode,
 column 6/.style=nodes=mysmallnode,
 row 6/.style=nodes=mylonglargenode
 ] (A) \
 &&&&&;
beginscope[on background layer]
foreach ind in 1,2,3,5
 
 draw[green!70!black,fill=green!40!lightgray] (A-ind-ind.north west) -- (A-ind-ind.north east) -- (A-ind-ind.south east) -- cycle;
 node[anchor=north east] at (A-ind-ind.north east) R;
 
endscope
draw[dotted, green!70!black] (A-4-4.north west) -- (A-4-4.north east) -- (A-4-4.south east) -- cycle;
node[font=Huge,shift=(-1,-2)] at (A) $0$; 
node[font=Huge,shift=(1,3)] at (A) $0$;
matrix[
 right =of A.north east,
 anchor=north west,
 nodes=mysmallnode
 ] (B) %
 underlinea_1 \
 underlinea_2 \
 underlinea_3 \
 \
 underlinea_M\
 underlineb\
 ;
foreach ind in 1,2,...,5
 draw (B-ind-1.south west) -- (B-ind-1.south east);

draw[dotted] (B-4-1.north) -- (B-4-1.south);
matrix[
 right =4em of B.north east,
 anchor=north west,
 nodes=draw,mysmallnode
 ] (C) [fill=yellow!10!white];
path (B-4-1) -- node[midway] $=$ (C-4-1);
draw[dotted] (C-4-1.north) -- (C-4-1.south);
% delimiters:
foreach mymatr in A,B,C

draw[very thick] ([xshift=4pt]mymatr.north west) -- (mymatr.north west) -- (mymatr.south west) -- ([xshift=4pt]mymatr.south west);
draw[very thick] ([xshift=-4pt]mymatr.north east) -- (mymatr.north east) -- (mymatr.south east) -- ([xshift=-4pt]mymatr.south east);

endtikzpicture
]

Or with ordinary delimiter:
[
begintikzpicture[ 
 every matrix/.append style=
 left delimiter=[,
 right delimiter=],
 
 ]
matrix[
 nodes=mylargenode,
 column 6/.style=nodes=mysmallnode,
 row 6/.style=nodes=mylonglargenode
 ] (A) \
 &&&&&;
beginscope[on background layer]
foreach ind in 1,2,3,5
 
 draw[green!70!black,fill=green!40!lightgray] (A-ind-ind.north west) -- (A-ind-ind.north east) -- (A-ind-ind.south east) -- cycle;
 node[anchor=north east] at (A-ind-ind.north east) R;
 
endscope
draw[dotted, green!70!black] (A-4-4.north west) -- (A-4-4.north east) -- (A-4-4.south east) -- cycle;
node[font=Huge,shift=(-1,-2)] at (A) $0$; 
node[font=Huge,shift=(1,3)] at (A) $0$;
matrix[
 right =of A.north east,
 anchor=north west,
 nodes=mysmallnode
 ] (B) %
 underlinea_1 \
 underlinea_2 \
 underlinea_3 \
 \
 underlinea_M\
 underlineb\
 ;
foreach ind in 1,2,...,5
 draw (B-ind-1.south west) -- (B-ind-1.south east);

draw[dotted] (B-4-1.north) -- (B-4-1.south);
matrix[
 right =4em of B.north east,
 anchor=north west,
 nodes=draw,mysmallnode
 ] (C) [fill=yellow!10!white];
path (B-4-1) -- node[midway] $=$ (C-4-1);
draw[dotted] (C-4-1.north) -- (C-4-1.south);
endtikzpicture
]
enddocument

It is indeed a bit tedious. (EDIT: Fixed the first R to become math mode, mille grazie to @Sebastiano!)
