Is there such a word as "matrixical" meaning matrix-like? I've looked
on various net dictionaries but they don't have it. Any help would be
much appreciated.

About the closest you can get is "causal; etiological" and
"germinal", if you must have a single word, but they won't do for
most contexts, only for science, but not math, I suspect.

What sentence do you want to put it in?

"Matrical".

There are too many uses for the word "matrix" for "matrix-like" to
really be useful.  What do you _really_ want to say?  Does "matricular"
work?  What about "amtric" or "matrical"?
