[plt-scheme] matrix algebra

Dybvig's ANSI Scheme book contains a pretty complete solution to your  
homework problem -- if my mail client displays things correctly. Your  
formatting is bad and nearly impossible to read. A proper problem  
statement would be better. We could then also point you to the proper  
way of learning ...
