disabling columns for wide matrix
I'm writing an article using two columns. It looks good but I have couple of wide math matrices that don't fit in single column. How could I disable the columns for a few lines so that the matrix would use both columns?

This probably needs whole new page, but since my two wide matrices together take up almost whole page anyway, I think it might be the best solution for me.
