<P>
 A matrix is a two dimensional array of double precision real numbers, with
 rows and columns. The row and column indices of a matrix are separated with
 a comma. The row dimension is specified first. There is no maximum size for
 matrices.</P>
<P>
 A literal matrix can be a list of vectors, such as,
 <code>[[1;2;3];[4;5;6];[7;8;9]]</code>, or an expression that results
 in a matrix, such as <code>[2:5]&gt;&lt;[2:6]</code>.</P>
<P>
 The following table shows the possible ways that
 variables can be considered to be equivalent to matrices, that is, can be
 used wherever matrices are expected.</P>
<p>
 Let <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> be vectors.
 Suppose that <code>M</code> is a matrix.</p>
