I have asked a few people I know and some I do not (at Zero Hedge), and I have been unable to get any kind of an answer... One (well three...) is just for my curiosity (below), the other I will ask if our lil ol PMBug.com forum responds positively...
1) Regarding square matrices (linear algebra), I know there are plenty of applications for two-dimensional ones, I use such applications about once every month or two (in statistical analysis of our bearing company sales). My question is: are there any applications for three-dimensional (and by extension, higher order) matrices? And how would one go about making the relevant calculations (the equivalent of determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors)? Are there any textbooks on this?
Thanks! I am kind-of amazed that the idea of three dimensional matrices has mystified so many people, this is the first "math thing" I have looked into that no one has (yet) been able to help me with or even know anything about it.
