Unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' shell script

I get

./matrix: line 36: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
./matrix: line 38: syntax error: unexpected end of file

when I try to run a shell script that I made, but I don't see any misquotes on lines 36-38

SCRIPT:

#!/bin/bash
