A Python package for all things linear algebra, built in vanilla python3
Built during MAT-1001 / Linear Algebra at Ashoka University.
The package is available on PyPI:
pip install nullity
To start using, simply import the package in your Python file:
from nullity import Matrix
Instantiation
m = Matrix(m, n, *args)
The matrix must be instantiated by first passing in the number of rows (m), then the number of columns (n), and finally the m*n values of the matrix separated by commas.
These values are arranged first in rows and then in columns.
For example:
>>> m = Matrix(2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
>>> print(m)
1.00 2.00 3.00
4.00 5.00 6.00

Along with these, addition and multiplication of 2 matrices is also supprted using the inbuilt operators +
and *
respectively.
Python's decimal arithmetic often results in incorrect answers. In some cases, approximated output might be sufficient, however in others, errors may be raised.
