Squaring a matrix is easy (so long as it is square). A^2 == A * A. What gets more fun is raising something (usually e) to a matrix power. Then you have to do things with the Jordan Connical form and decompose your matrix into eigenvalues and stuff. On the plus side, this also allows you to define the sin and cos of a matrix... ::evil grin:: Matt -- "Computer Science is merely the post-Turing Decline of Formal Systems Theory." -???
