Change $$ ... $$ to \startformula \stopformula

The use of $$ ... $$ for display math will not give you correct
spacing. Always use \startformula ... \stopformula
BTW, there is also \startmathmatrix in ConTeXt which allows you to
\definemathmatrix[pmatrix]
[left={\left(\,},
right={\,\right)}]
\startformula \startpmatrix
\NC {a_1 } \NC {a_2 } \NC {a_3 } \NC \ldots \NC {a_X } \NR
\NC {b_1 } \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NR
\NC 0 \NC {b_2 } \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NR
\NC 0 \NC 0 \NC \ddots \NC 0 \NC 0 \NR
\NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC {b_{X - 1} } \NC 0 \NR
\stoppmatrix \stopformula
and some other fun stuff also. See My Way on math-align
