It seems that matrix is tested in the iic test but my high school math doesn't cover that. Barrons doesn't teach much in this area either. I certainly googled but the results were all about the movie esp. the finale. Do you guys know anywhere online I can find material so I can prep a bit? Thanks you.

All you need to know is that The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window. Or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work. When you go to Church. When you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. In other words... http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2151/matrices.html

did you specify, like "matrix algebra", most calcs have matrix options to solve complex systems of equations.

Okay Jason, I understand your philosophical point but I just want to solve those math problems first!! Btw, the link you provided doesn't seem to work. What's in it anyway?

Anyone else knows about any online info. explaining simple matrix problems tested in the iic?

Thanks!

meh, its geocities I realized, they never work. Try:

http://www.ping.be/math/matr.htm

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Matrix.html

http://www.sosmath.com/matrix/matrix0/matrix0.html

Just some random sites I found...
