       Comments:  We only received one paper.  The paper was quite neat
and almost completely accurate.  One small mathmatical flaw was found in
part A of this problem.  It was a simple mistake that provided a
completely different answer.  In the paper, the order of the matrices was
correct, but when evaluated, they were in the wrong order.  A complete
explanation was sent to the student.  Part B was done successfully.
 
        Also, some of the work was missing.  The steps went right from
having a matrix, and having it's inverse in the next step without showing
how it was obtained.  They were multiplied in the same way.  No written
explanation was given in the entire paper.
 
        We reccommend that this paper be sent back to the student so
he can do the necessary revisions and corrections.   
 
 
INSTRUCTOR'S COMMENT:  Although the kind of mistake described in the
first paragraph of this report is a frequent one, the grader and I do
not think that it was made on this paper.  The error was purely
arithmetical.
