I'm so proud to have you with us :D

                     ^^^^^^^ that's scale_y, right ?

Ok, so taking  a *single* value out of the matrix is surely
wrong in all our cases, correct ?

I'm moving the matrix class in it's own files and adding documentation
(verbatim from your words, please review after commit).

After that I'd make the matrix itself private and make sure every uses are
trough exposed methods hiding the math complexity.
Finally, I'd like to provide a unit test for the matrix class, starting
with your examples, and possibly asking you to add a few more ?
