	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Matrix calculus
		In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices, where it defines the matrix derivative.
		Multivariable calculus is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus in several variables: the functions which are differentiated and integrated involve several variables rather than one variable.
		ADJ(A) is the adjoint of the square matrix A. DIAG(a) is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the elements of a.

		In vector calculus, the divergence is an operator that measures a vector fields tendency to originate from or converge upon a given point.
		In vector calculus, the Jacobian is shorthand for either the Jacobian matrix or its determinant, the Jacobian determinant.
		In vector calculus, the Laplace operator or Laplacian is a differential operator equal to the sum of all the unmixed second partial derivatives of a dependent variable.

	PlanetMath: variation of parameters
		If one approaches this through matrix calculus, having discussed the solution of dZ/dt = MZ with a functional coefficient matrix M(t) and full matrix of solutions Z(t), the way to approach the inhomogeneous equation dW/dt = MW + F is to factor the solution matrix, writing W = ZQ.
		Since the inverse of a matrix is its adjugate divided by its determinant (which in the case of an n'th order equation is a Wronskian), there results the nice formula in this posting.
		Admittedly to convert the above into a proof, some details from matrix calculus have to be assumed, such as the existence of a solution in the form of the matrizant (Picard's method) or as a product integral (Euler's method).

	Matrix Algebra As A Tool (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Matrix algebra in particular is necessary for a thorough understanding of research methods courses in other disciplines.
		To specify matrix algebra as a prerequisite would be an easy solution for me as a professor but an unsatisfactory one as an educator, because it would prevent or discourage many students who should, on the contrary, be encouraged to take such courses.
		It is intended for use in a one-term course in matrix algebra, or it can provide a matrix algebra background for applied courses such as regression analysis, multivariate analysis, econometrics, and other statistics and research methods courses in business, the social sciences, and other disciplines.

	Matrix calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices, where it defines the matrix derivative.
		In the case of matrix spaces, there are several matrix norms available, all of which are equivalent since the space is finite-dimensional.
		Matrix calculus is, among other places, used for deriving optimal stochastic estimators, often involving the use of Lagrange multipliers.

		In a "matrix" package, in contrast to an "array" package, it is necessary to have both these types since they behave differently in matrix expressions.
		If a program requests a matrix to be copied, the copy is delayed until an instruction is executed which modifies the memory of either the original matrix or the copy.
		Each of the matrix types defined in this package can be set up so both rows and columns have their elements at equal intervals provided we are prepared to store the rows and columns in up to three chunks.

	Maths - Matrix algebra and 3D transformation - Martin Baker
		A matrix is a rectangular array of elements which are operated on as a single object.
		A matrix is a way to transform one vector into another vector (and a whole set of vectors into another set of vectors).
		For instance, if we have an m x n matrix and each of its elements is a p x q matrix, then we could replace it with a single (mp) x (nq) matrix.

		Calculus is a vast topic, and it forms the basis for much of modern mathematics.
		At school, you are introduced to differential calculus by learning how to find the derivative of a function in order to determine the slope of the graph of that function at any point.
		Integral calculus is often introduced in school in terms of finding primitive functions (indefinite integrals) and finding the area under a curve (definite integrals).

	American Mathematical Monthly - January 1997
		Two applications of linear algebra in calculus are used to help motivate the concepts of the matrix for a linear transformation between finite dimensional vector spaces and of a change-of-basis matrix.
		The first application uses the concept of the matrix for the differentiation transformation D: C^1 (R) -> C (R), restricted to an appropriate finite-dimensional subspace, to show how integration by parts can often be replaced by matrix inversion.
		The second application uses the concept of a change-of-basis matrix to clarify the integration of polynomials in the sine and cosine.

	The Mathematical Concept of the Maya Universe
		It is convenient to remember that the techniques of matrix calculus were recently developed in the past century while the Maya mathematicians used their boards several millennia ago.
		It is in actuality, thanks to matrix and tensor calculus, possible to discover the parameters and variables of any phenomenon, not only in Euclidean space but also in Riemannian and Finsler spaces, and even others that we can not yet imagine.
		When this happens we have obtained the synergetic sum, but for this to happen it is necessary to have a coordinating factor, a direction that the Mayas expressed in their numerical symbolism.
