  PlanetMath: matrix   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
As a rule, though, the word matrix and the notation associated with it are used only in connection with linear mappings.
One more illustration: The derivative (at a point) of a mapping from one surface to another is a linear mapping; it is not a matrix of partial derivatives, because the matrix depends on a choice of basis but the derivative does not.

A 1 × n matrix (one row and n columns) is called a row vector, and an m × 1 matrix (one column and m rows) is called a column vector.
The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A; this is the same as the dimension of the space generated by the rows of A, and also the same as the dimension of the space generated by the columns of A.

If the matrix for the position of the car is A, the matrix of the person in the car is B, the matrix for the nodding-transformation is C, and one vector in the head of the person is v, you will first have to calculate C*v resulting in the new head position.
If you want to transform matrices from a basis a = (a1, a2, a3) to a basis b = (b1, b2, b3) (notice that a1, a2, a3, b1, b2 and b3 are vectors) you have to express the vectors of a by means of the basis b.
If you have the special case that the destination basis is the canonical basis E = (e1, e2, e3), which is often the case (except the camera thing), you can simply use the vectors of the source basis as the columns of the transformation matrix.

 Matrix Question - Basis Vectors - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Assuming that all other elements resemble the identity matrix (i.e anything besides the translation deltas are 1 or 0 accordingly), a matrix with the translation stored in the last column is the transpose of the matrix that has the translation stored in the bottom row.
When homogeneization occurs (after the matrix transformations), the x and y coordinates are both divided by w, so the farther the object is, the greater the w, the smaller it will be on the screen (far objects appear smaller than close objects).
So when you use a matrix to represent a point, we have three variables that represent our points position, but if this same matrix were to be used to represent an equation, we need a constant term, and with three variables, this leads to a fourth term, which is the W component.

 Evaluation of the rotation matrices in the basis of real spherical harmonics.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Rotation matrices (or Wigner D functions) are the matrix representations of the rotation operators in the basis of the spherical harmonics.
The aim of this contribution is to obtain a general algorithm to compute the representation matrix of any point-group symmetry operation in the basis of the real spherical harmonics, paying attention to the use of recurrence relations that allow the treatment of functions with high angular momenta.
Usually, point-group symmetry operations are specified by their matrix representations in the basis of the cartesian coordinates, so we will focus in the obtaining of the representation matrices of the RSH taking those of the cartesian coordinates as a starting point.

 Innovative Teaching Exchange: In Search of the Elusive Matrix
I decided that the activity had to employ a variety of tasks [3], to probe the connections between symbols, symbolic procedures and problem-solving procedures [3], to be diverse in terms of complexity and dissimilarity from those presented in the learning situation [1], and to cause students to build connections, fold-back, or validate thinking [5].
In particular, the activity was designed to help students coordinate their understandings of dimension, basis, null space, and column space by taking a new perspective different from that presented in David Lay's Linear Algebra and It's Applications text [4], class, or homework.
Students were generally able to situate the concepts of null and column spaces, basis, and dimension to provide reasonably coherent discussions of the ideas.
