Isabelle: how to work with matrices

Question

I started to learn Isabelle, the theorem prover, about 2-3 weeks ago. I am still an absolute beginner and I worked with the tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL" so far.

The only help on matrices I found so far was to look at the source code in the HOL library.

Now I want to learn how to prove properties about matrices. The lambda syntax for matrices is still new to me. Are there any tutorials or basic/intermediate examples on using matrices in Isabelle?

Here is a more recent / up-to-date entry in AFP http://afp.sourceforge.net/entries/Matrix.shtml

CeTA http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/software/ceta/ is cited here as an application, so you may look there for examples how it is being used in practice.
