Gregory,

Take seems pretty good.

mat = Array[f, {14, 14}];

Take[mat, {3, 7}, {11, 14}] // MatrixForm

The following might be more intuitive, but Range is a function.

mat[[Range[3, 7], Range[11, 14]]] // MatrixForm

The MatrixManipulation package isn't any simpler.

Needs["LinearAlgebra`MatrixManipulation`"]

TakeMatrix[mat, {3, 11}, {7, 14}] // MatrixForm

Hello everyone,

Mathematica has so many functions for accessing parts of arrays that 
I'm not sure which one I should be using to get a submatrix, for 
example, rows 3 to 7 and columns 11 to 14 of matrix X.  Should I use 
Take?

	Take[X,{3,7},{11,14}]

Is there a more compact way where I don't have to explicit refer to a 
function?

	Regards,

		Greg
