Matrices and How They Can Be Used to Transform the Plane

This is an interactive activity that allows the user to enter in a 3x3 matrix and watch how the matrix transforms the plane using homogeneous coordinates.  The user can choose whether to animate with repeated transformations or to apply the matrix just once.  The transformation is realized by what it does to the unit square.
