Looking for something beyond a contrived textbook problem concerning jelly beans. Not just matrix manipulation for it's own sake.

I know matrix math is used in real life applications (finance, science, manufacturing, optimizing, etc) ... to solve linear systems of equations. Has anyone ever used this Math to solve a real problem at work, etc? come across a real example? Thanks!

Never saw the accept rate. Is that when I close out a thread? – JackOfAll May 4 '12 at 22:45
