I suppose the question is: what is commons-numbers, and if a matrix is a
“number” or it is sufficiently different to warrant a separate component.
It is worth noting that in there have been past arguments over additional math
components before we get 1.0 releases for the current ones in flight (but I
feel like the fastest route to any component’s 1.0 should take priority).
What are other folks’ thoughts here? I would think that linear algebra would
likely be a widely used library as it’s fairly fundamental to a collection of
machine learning algorithms as they are based in least squares.
