Matrix Test Review

Today in math we started off with a mental math that proved to be quite challenging for myself and a few other students. One question had to do with multiplying fractions. I was and still am confused about that.
Our test is tomorrow so remember that you can make a formula sheet that is double sided to assist you in the test. The formula sheet has to be made by you and on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. This encourages you to study and ask the question, "What is he going to ask us on the test?". Also make sure to not waste your time on the test and read instructions carefully.
The content on the test can be divided into four parts. The first being the introductory material like the definition, vocabulary, and how to use your calculator when working with matrices. The second part contains the matrix operations like addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication.
The third part will be on transition matrices and the fourth on networks. The following is what we did today in class. They are examples of a transition matrix and a network matrix.
