Carlos,
That should be Ok. The only issue that I have ever encountered is that you need to use variables in the matrix so WMA knows the dimensionality of your problem. For example, I would be careful using a single variable for a matrix because some operations assume the variables as scalars (or more accurately, they can handle either scalar or matrix arguments so a single variable is assumed to be scalar). So set k={{a,b},{c,d}} or k=Array[a,{2,2}]
Your equations can then be expressed using MatrixExp[], Div, Cross, Grad, etc
