But who are the hypothetical readers who need to understand the camera matrix without knowing math? In general, my feeling is that most Wikipedia articles are pretty well pitched to the people that would be interested in the article topic.

Camera projections are very common technique in computer graphics and software often refer to this kind of terminology. When I try to get better understanding what they actually mean I often find wikipedia articles lacking. It's like looking up a traditional food and finding only receipe.
I'm not sure that the idea that an encyclopaedia should be targeted to only the already well educated, especially one with the goal that Wikipedia has is much short of elitism.
