An example from solid state physics: If you have a spin chain with some long-range interaction and you have the known, dense, coupling matrix J, sum_angle(J, pi/4) gives you a view at the distance dependence of the interaction. -- Robert Jordens. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
