We've discussed it before. Search the archives. Although matrix multiplication is mathematically associative, there are performance and precision implications to the order the multiplications happen. No satisfactory implementation was found. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
