Matrix -- the class of all matrices
The type Matrix is a member of the class Type.
Each object of class Matrix is called a matrix.
Each matrix is also a member of class ModuleMap.
More general types (whose methods may also apply) :
A matrix is a homomorphism between two modules, together with
an integer (or vector of integers) called its degree, which is
used when determining whether the map is homogeneous. The matrix
is stored in the usual way as a rectangular array of ring elements.
When the source or target modules are not free, the matrix is
interpreted as a linear transformation in terms of the generators
of the modules.

A matrix f is an immutable object, so if you want to
cache information about it, put it in the hash table f.cache.
