That's true hehe

I've spent the last 6 months doing matrix stuff in Mathematics C.  Gets
fairly boring when you're given a test and you have to work out the
determinant of 2 3x3 matrices and then use them with Cramer's Rule to work
out the solutions to simultaneous equations, all by hand.  Soo sloooooww...
