Matrices are evil. I hate them, I hate them. I've spent all day trying to understand them. I think I understand them, but I still can't do them. You have to do a whole page of working for some wanky little problem. And it's so easy to make mistakes. And you have to write the same thing over and over again.
The really sucky thing - they're meant to be extra important for economists. Maybe I'll have to be one of those economists that just makes stuff up, and never does any maths.
There good for doing dot products. I was told I’d have to use them all the time. I haven’t used them in any subject but maths. Computers make them largly irrelevent. Use Mathamatica to check your answers.

I don’t think I can afford Mathematica. But I might look for a freeware thingy.
