    Mathematica Mathematica: Matrix product Modulus an integer

    I need to multiply 2 matrix in Mathematica but modulus an Integer. The "Modulus->n" option cannot be used with "Dot" function. You can use Modulus-> n with "Inverse" or even "Det" but not with "Dot". It is something strange. How should I do it, then? Any idea? Thank you.

    Is Sqrt(x^2) Always Equal to |x|?

    Okay, when I enter into the calculator sqrt(x^2) it equals |x|. Since when? I thought sqrt(x^2) equals x and then when you go to sketch it, it will be a positive diagonal line through the origin whereas |x| is a reflection at the origin.
