The Matrix class corresponds to the Linear Algebra notation of a Matrix. It implements simple operations like Plus, Times, Minus, and IsSymmetric, as well as some of the more advanced concepts like norms, trace, determinants, etc.

From the 1.3 Alpha release of NGenerics, the Matrix class inherits from ObjectMatrix, giving it several new features like row and column swapping, etc.

Decompositions of matrices has been provided as seperate classes. These include :

• LUDecomposition
• QRDecomposition
