Hopefully you guys can help me some here. Im kinda stuck on this question. Research and report on a practical application of matrices in your career field. Discuss with your classmates questions or details concerning their findings.

Im assuming the question wants me to relate how matrices work with computer networking systems.
 
Matrix mathematics and algorithms are great for building efficient ways of calculations (Matrix algorithms can even speed up regular mathematics in computers (like multiplication and division) by up to a factor of 4. I did a project in a class of mine back in college with a professor that leads up different ways of using Matrix Algorithms to speed up basic calculations in code (Look Up: The Human Code). This guy is a lead in linear and matrix algebra in computer systems.

Matrix algorithms are a key tool to simulating and understanding networks. If you use matrix algorithms, you can build algorithms to figure out the most efficient way to traffic users through the network. This is actually already done on servers and routers, and they are continually searching for better algorithms.

There are many other things that are possible with matrix algorithms, but these two are more common. The first one is a fairly new way of coding in higher level programming languages while still retaining the efficiency of basic level programming.
