Hi Ben,
You must enclose the specification level with curly braces to tell the
function Map to work only at the specified level, say level 2, and not
from level one up to level two.
In[1]:=
mat = Table[i + j, {i, 0, 2}, {j, 0, 2}];
In[2]:=
Map[f, mat, {2}]
Out[2]=
{{f[0], f[1], f[2]}, {f[1], f[2], f[3]},
{f[2], f[3], f[4]}}

Jean-Marc
