Matrix
A many-DIMENSIONal arrangement of numbers suitable to various transformations which form the basis of matrix algebra. A one-dimensional matrix is called a scalar. Most frequent are two-dimensional, n-by-m, matrices which might contain the coefficients (see parameter ) of a set of linear equations or specify a mapping from an n-dimensional to an m-dimensional vector space (see hyperspace ).

Matrix
Matrix, an originally Latin word now taken into numerous languages, is derived from "mater" (mother). In the time of the Roman Empire it referred to an aqueduct with multiple branches serving many cities, and thus figuratively a "mother" feeding many "children" (for example, the Aqua Augusta which provided water to eight cities in Campania).

Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange
The Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange Program, also known by the acronym "MATRIX", was a federally funded data mining system originally developed for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement described as a tool to identify terrorist subjects.
The system was reported to analyze government and commercial databases to find associations between suspects or to discover locations of or completely new "suspects". The database and technologies used in the system were housed by Seisint, a Florida-based company since acquired by Lexis Nexis.
The Matrix program was shut down in June 2005 after federal funding was cut in the wake of public concerns over privacy and state surveillance.
