Jason - wasn't there some spirited discussion a while ago about using
Python properties? I couldn't find it in a search.
Oh, please don't bring that back. It's already enough work getting
students to remember the parentheses; having to remember when to use
it or not, yikes...
Here's why I'd really like properties for at least the transpose:
3*(A.T()*B.T())*(2*(A.T()-I))
compared to
3*(A.T*B.T)*(2*(A.T-I))
I think the second one is much easier to read because you don't have to
parse which parentheses are for grouping and which parentheses are for
function calls.
