21. The History Of Matrices
    The orgins of mathematical matrices lie with the study of systems of simultaneous linear equations. An important Chinese text from between 300 BC and AD 200

    Extractions: The orgins of mathematical matrices lie with the study of systems of simultaneous linear equations. An important Chinese text from between 300 BC and AD 200, Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art Chiu Chang Suan Shu ), gives the first known example of the use of matrix methods to solve simultaneous equations. In the treatise's seventh chapter, "Too much and not enough," the concept of a determinant first appears, nearly two millennia before its supposed invention by the Japanese mathematician Seki Kowa in 1683 or his German contemporary Gottfried Leibnitz (who is also credited with the invention of differential calculus, separately from but simultaneously with Isaac Newton). More uses of matrix-like arrangements of numbers appear in chapter eight, "Methods of rectangular arrays," in which a method is given for solving simultaneous equations using a counting board that is mathematically identical to the modern matrix method of solution outlined by

22. Science News Online - Ivars Peterson's MathLand - 6/14/97
    Illustrated article explaining how contra dance patterns and rhythms are formed.  
    http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc97/6_14_97/mathland.htm
    
    Extractions: June 14, 1997 The origins of contra dancing go back to colonial days, and its roots can be traced to English country dance. It's really a group rather than a couples effort, and it has elements that might remind you of traditional square dancing. Rhythm and pattern are the keys. What's striking, says Scanlon, is that a remarkably high percentage of its practitioners are highly educated, often involved in mathematics, computers, or engineering. "The appeal seems to lie in its being a kind of 'set dancing,' where one's position relative to others while tracing patterns on the dance floor is paramount," he says. "Timing is also crucial, as is the ability to rapidly carry out called instructions and do fraction math on the fly." Scanlon introduced both the mathematical and performance sides of contra dancing to attendees earlier this year at the 2nd Annual Recreational Mathematics Conference (see "Fun and Games in Nevada" The music for contra dancing is highly structured. Everything occurs in units of four. The band plays a tune for 16 beats, repeats the tune, then plays a new tune for 16 beats and repeats that. An eight-beat section is known as a call, during which each block of four dancers executes a called-out instruction. An entire dance is precisely 64 beats long. When the dancers line up in their groups of four to produce a long column down the floor extending away from the band, each square block consisting of two couples can be thought of as a matrix. Each dancer (element of the matrix) is in a specific position within the block. The called instructions correspond to rearrangements of the elements of the matrix. After 64 beats, however, the first and second rows of the matrix must be interchanged. Of course, that can be done in one step, but the fun comes in all the different ways in which groups of four can get to that inevitable end result.

24. Raven Standard Progressive Matrices
    The Standard Progressive matrices (SPM) was designed to measure a person’s ability to form perceptual relations and to reason by analogy  
    http://www.cps.nova.edu/~cpphelp/RSPM.html
    
    Extractions: Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Purpose: Designed to measure a person’s ability to form perceptual relations. Population: Ages 6 to adult. Score: Percentile ranks. Time: (45) minutes. Author: J.C. Raven. Publisher: U.S. Distributor: The Psychological Corporation. Description: The Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) was designed to measure a person’s ability to form perceptual relations and to reason by analogy independent of language and formal schooling, and may be used with persons ranging in age from 6 years to adult. It is the first and most widely used of three instruments known as the Raven's Progressive Matrices, the other two being the Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) and the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM). All three tests are measures of Spearman's g. Scoring: Reliability: Internal consistency studies using either the split-half method corrected for length or KR20 estimates result in values ranging from .60 to .98, with a median of .90. Test-retest correlations range from a low of .46 for an eleven-year interval to a high of .97 for a two-day interval. The median test-retest value is approximately .82. Coefficients close to this median value have been obtained with time intervals of a week to several weeks, with longer intervals associated with smaller values. Raven provided test-retest coefficients for several age groups: .88 (13 yrs. plus), .93 (under 30 yrs.), .88 (30-39 yrs.), .87 (40-49 yrs.), .83 (50 yrs. and over). Validity: Spearman considered the SPM to be the best measure of g. When evaluated by factor analytic methods which were used to define g initially, the SPM comes as close to measuring it as one might expect. The majority of studies which have factor analyzed the SPM along with other cognitive measures in Western cultures report loadings higher than .75 on a general factor. Concurrent validity coefficients between the SPM and the Stanford-Binet and Weschler scales range between .54 and .88, with the majority in the .70s and .80s.

    Extractions: A short article designed to provide an introduction to linear and multilinear algebra and matrix theory. As presented to engineers and as the subject of much numerical analysis, this subject is Matrix Theory. To an algebraist or geometer, it is the theory of Vector Spaces. Linear algebra, sometimes disguised as matrix theory, considers sets and functions which preserve linear structure. In practice this includes a very wide portion of mathematics; thus linear algebra includes axiomatic treatments, computational matters, algebraic structures, and even parts of geometry; moreover, it provides tools used for analyzing differential equations, statistical processes, and even physical phenomena.

30. John Halleck's Matrices
    matrices of the same size may be added, by making a new matrix of the same size, with elements that just add the corresponding elements from the matrices  
    http://home.utah.edu/~nahaj/math/matrices.html
    
    Extractions: I give up. I'm forced into a matrix review page. Grammarian note: It is one Matrix, two matrices. So... Here is a quick review I have made a collection of Matrix Identities that I use. Reading them could be helpful in following the otherwise short derivations scattered around this paper. A single number in matrix notation is called a scalar . It can be looked at as a number, or as a 1 x 1 matrix, or as a one element row or column. A row (also called a row vector) is just an ordered collection of elements. For example, [ a b c ] is a row. If you have two rows of the same length, you can add the rows by adding the corresponding elements in each row. For example, the row [ d e f ] + [ g h i ] = [ d+g e+h f+i ] One can multiply a row by a scalar (number). For example, 2 * [ a b c ] = [ 2a 2b 2c ] A row may have any number of elements, from one on up. If Z is a row, Z(i) means the i'th element of that row. A column (also called a column vector) is just like a row, except it is arranged vertically. For example:

    Extractions: Organizers: A. Kuijlaars and M. Ledoux Random matrix theory has its origins in the 1920s in the works of Wishart in mathematical statistics and in the 1950s in the works of Wigner, Dyson and Mehta on the spectra of highly excited nuclei. Since then the subject has developed fast and has found applications in many branches of mathematics and physics, ranging from quantum field theory to statistical mechanics, integrable systems, number theory, statistics, and probability. The workshop intends to cover the recent advances in random matrix theory, with an emphasis on the probabilistic aspects. The conference will take place at the Centre International de Recherches Mathématiques ( CIRM ), Luminy, France. Accommodation and meals are provided for the participants for this period, at no cost.

    Extractions: Listen Print Subscribe to Python Subscribe to Newsletters This month we'll use NumPy and DISLIN to create, display, and manipulate a basic geometric image. At the heart of image manipulation are special matrices that can be used to create effects. You can use these effects separately or combine them for more complex operations. While the focus is on two-dimensional operations, the concepts extend to three (and more) dimensions. They are fundamental to many applications including computer games and computer-aided design (CAD) programs. They are the heart of linear algebra itself. Considering the world as a flat plane, we can lay on it two reference directions. The arrows labeled x and y provide a reference for our vector The vector is defined as being four units in the x direction and 3 units in the y direction (units, in this case, being miles traveled.) So how do we get from the motion of a car to a vector of ? Well we would say that the velocity of the car is miles per hour. Which means that the car moved four miles in the
