What are some differences between arrays and matrices using the Numpy

You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list:
http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists
An overview of how the matrix subclass differs from ndarray, see the
documentation:
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.classes.html#matrix-objects
Basically, I suggest that you just use regular arrays always. There is a
syntactical convenience to matrix objects, but it does cause incompatibilities
with the majority of code that is written for regular arrays. The convenience is
usually not worth the cost.
