Applications of Matrices

       This section has one part that you will cover.  It has to do with communication matrices.  Ships, radio towers, computers and many more items communicate through matrices.  Remember the definition of a matrix; a rectangular array of numbers, or elements, enclosed by brackets, consisting of rows and columns. This section teaches you how to determine which element can communicate with another element and how many steps it takes for one element to communicate with a third element.  Not real tricky, but makes you use everything you have learned about matrices up to this point.  Convenient, eh?  By the way, this is your independant study.  Thought I should warn you, but don't worry, it's not all that difficult.
