Re:Python 3.5 to Ship with Matrix Multiplication Operator by jonemo on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @03:44AM (#7551963)
A few fields that use matrix computations extensively that come to mind: robotics, graphics, control, machine learning.

I'd go as far as saying that matrix computation plays an important role in more or less every kind of programming except for web/app development.

edit: As another comment points out, the PEP actually answers this question too and contains a slightly more comprehensive list of disciplines where matrices find frequent use: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465/#but-isn-t-matrix...
