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.
This CD treats matrices and vectors in a column oriented fashion
(using matrixcolumns).
November 2004: A.M. Cohen edited this CD with the following consequences:
-- This CD was formerly named linalg3. The current name linalg2col refers to the
resemblance with linalg2. As a consequence all (further) occurrences
of linalg3 in this CD have been replaced by linalg2col.
-- Two CMPs and two FMPs are added to the symbol vector. Lack of
expressive power limits the FMP statements to 3-dimensional arrays.
This symbol represents an n-ary function used to construct (or describe)
vectors. Vectors in this CD are considered to be column vectors, and must
therefore be transposed to be considered as row vectors.
Example:
An example of vector using n arguments.
The specific vector constructed in this example is transpose of [3,6,9].
