In my role as an engineering professor and instructor, I find linear algebra to be essential. To my knowledge, almost any book on engineering mathematics contains a large section on linear algebra.
numpy is an extremely useful package, but is overwhelming for some novices (e.g. dealing with the complexity of various broadcasting rules and indexing methods). So, if the python standard library had a matrix type and associated capabilities to do basic operations, it would help me as an instructor. -Brad _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/KOKJXNWSVGELUYD7RVJBIYB3ZKRHLLTI/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
