A matrix is a field of numbers with rows and columns (see example below). They can reperesent many different things and have numerous applications, especially in computer science. They can also be used in physics, as columns are often vectors that are analyzed together for one reason or another.
Linear Algebra involves the study of matrices.
Example:
| 2 3 8 |
| 5 6 1 |
| 4 2 7 |

inverse matrix. x1+x2+x3=3,000 -x1+5x2=0 2x1-3x3=0.
Oh, dude, branches of mathematics? Like, there's algebra, where you solve for X and make numbers play nice. Then there's geometry, where you're all about shapes and angles, like a math Picasso. And don't forget calculus, where you're basically doing math gymnastics with curves and slopes. Math, man, it's like a whole forest of numbers and stuff.

In polar coordinates, p = 1 - sin(theta)
Yes when estimating or using probability.
