what is a small matrix? small font?
Look in the m-newmat.tex file -- according to the comments, you had exactly the same question about what it was supposed to be when you implemented it! (It's a copy of the AMSmath declaration, I believe.)
In any case, it's a simplified matrix using only one column and using scriptsize fonts -- it's intended for constructions where you have a multi-line subscript on something like a summation.
Sorry -- I should have looked this up first; I got the descriptions wrong. The "subarray" environment is the one that does that; the "smallmatrix" array is exactly what David described -- a matrix environment set in scriptsize font with tight linespacing, intended for use within a text line. In any case, your question about "what does this do?" in the m-newmat.tex comments applies to both. :) - Brooks
