Title: matrix resources?
Post by: boysenberry on January 26, 2010, 12:35:02 pm

i remember encountering matrices in GMA and methods cas. so have decided to do it as a module for further maths. I'd always fournd it rather easy but does it get any more complicated? Anyone know of any links to complex/sophisticated matrix problems? I don't have my books for further yet and doing it may help with my further this year...

those are probably the hardest matrices questions you will ever see in further. (especially Q9)
i had them in my reference book because i feared they would make a comeback seeing as they were done so poorly when examined.

luckily the matrices module in 2009 was probably the easiest 10 minutes of work i did all year.  :)
