NumPy matrix construction includes as a convenience feature
the construction of matrices with a Matlab-like syntax.
E.g., np.mat('1 2;3 4').
Is it correct that this syntax is not supported for
direct (i.e., not using `mat`) ndarray creation?
You may ask, where would this possibly matter?
The answer: in the undergraduate classroom.
Compare np.mat('1 2; 3 4')
to np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
for readability and intimidation factor.
Little things matter when getting started
with students who lack programming background.
Thanks,
Alan Isaac
