The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document provided that the following conditions are met. a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the work to the original source. b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries then the derived work must include a different CDName element, chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer. However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society for future extensions. c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b) intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement. If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath society at http://www.openmath.org. linalg2 http://www.openmath.org/cd http://www.openmath.org/cd/linalg2.ocd 2006-03-30 2004-03-30 3 0 official This CD treats matrices and vectors in a row oriented fashion (using matrixrow's). vector application This symbol represents an n-ary function used to construct (or describe) vectors. Vectors in this CD are considered to be row vectors and must therefore be transposed to be considered as column vectors. An example of vector using n arguments. The specific vector constructed in this example is [3,6,9]. 3 6 9 matrixrow application This symbol is an n-ary constructor used to represent rows of matrices. Its arguments should be members of a ring. Representation of a row of a matrix of length two containing the integers [1,0] 1 0 matrix application This symbol is an n-ary matrix constructor which requires matrixrow's as arguments. It is used to represent matrices. Representation of a 2x2 identity matrix 1 0 0 1
