A '''matrix''' (pl.: "matrices," [[Latin]] origin) is a complex ordering, in deliberate fashion, of [[numeral|numerals]]. In [[mathematics]], a "matrix" is a regular grid of numbers, which may be manipulated and solved through intermediate-level [[algebra]]. Matrix algebra is usually taught in [[sophomore]] [[high school]] level mathematics.
