A quick aside about matrices.  Every dense matrix algorithm is
measured by the number of rows (n).  LU factorization is O(n^3), as is
QR.  If memory serves, Eigenvalues are usually O(n^2).  Determinants
are O(n^3), too.  These estimates change if the matrix is banded, they
usually become O(n).

The point is, mathematicians care about the number of rows.  I'd
recommend that.
