Abstract
In this chapter we introduce methods to create and manipulate matrices. The difference between matrix operations and array operations are described to illustrate the fact that you can do matrix algebra or operate on a matrix of data as an array (or list) of individual numbers. We also introduce character strings and the facilities for handling them. Examples of some uses of matrices are provided. They are population dynamics, Markov processes, and solving systems of linear equations. The analysis of sparse matrices to save space in the computer is also discussed.
