R help - Apr 2004 - Matrix decomposition

I am looking for a manual(s) or any kind of documentation, at the introductory
level, regarding matrix algebra (specifically, matrix population models).

Any help will be highly appreciated

I don't know anything about matrix population models, but Golub & Van
Loan's
`Matrix Computations' is a standard reference for numerical computations
with matrices.  There's also David Harville's fairly recent book,
`Matrix
Algebra from Statisticians' Perspective'.  I believe one of James
Gentle's
recent volumes also cover numerical linear algebra.
