Just as you won't usually find ones using A[i,k] as a notation for
arrays, either.  Mathematic notations for this kind of object is
almost invariabley (written in TeX notation:) $A_{i,k}$, i.e. indices.
Only computer science, due to it being forced to write maths in a
one-dimensional format, uses [] for this.
