So I was reading this: http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/a-new-factoring-algorithm/

and found it saying "symmetic modulo"

So first off: what is " a -special matrix provided the following are true:" (refer to link)

"$A$ is symmetric modulo $n$" means that $A$ and $A^t$ are congruent modulo $n$.

It might be useful to look at the date on the blog. And perhaps at the somewhat unusual name of the originator of the algorithm.
