 because you re-use `a' as a parameter for the block, change the name
 something like

            a.sort! { |x, y| ... }

 a.map! replace the value with the result returned by the block, in your
 case this is the value returned by #upto

 Write it
            a.map! { |elt|
                 faktor = (-a[0][s]) / tri[tri.length-1][s]
                 0.upto(elt.length-1) { |i|
                     elt[i] += ( tri[tri.length-1][i] * faktor)
                 }
                 elt # return the value of elt
            }
