The "formula" line (beginning "Consider the matrix") is a bit confused,
notationally.  Instead of a(5)=[A_11]^2, it should say something like
a(5)=(A^2)_11 (or better, (A^2)_{1,1}), and similarly for the
remaining terms.  (And the 2 at the end of the line is a typo; it
should be 3.)  In other words, A=[a(1),a(2);a(3),a(4)],
A^2=[a(5),a(6);a(7),a(8)], etc.

At a more basic level, how common is the notation [1,2;3,4] to
represent the matrix:
(1 2)
(3 4)?
PARI uses it, but I don't know whether it's in more general use.
