    The author defines the concept of a fundamental matrix within the framework of semi-Markov theory. He uses the matrix to derive information on the time spent in a state and on first passage times; in particular, moment formulae and/or limit theorems are derived. The approach is claimed to be easily implemented because of the use of elementary matrix operations.
