I agree that complex would be a better name. It would be also be nice if it the 1-arg version could be idempotent (i.e. returns an existing complex number unchanged). The downside is that this would mean a slight performance hit because it would prevent the use of primitive arguments. Maybe we

2015-06-02 Thread Christopher Graham
How about changing the name of the complex-number function to, ideally, complex? complex-number seems irritating to (have to) read. Further, calling this function is a form of type coercion. (float ...), (int ...), etc., are idiomatic Clojure, whereas (float-number ...), (int-number ...), et

OK, here's a basic version that I think has most of the key elements in place. A lot more protocols still need implementing, but it should be a reasonable basis to build upon: https://github.com/mikera/core.matrix.complex On Tuesday, 2 June 2015 16:35:25 UTC+1, Christopher Small wrote: > > >

2015-06-02 Thread Mike Anderson
I think the right strategy is to make a separate complex array implementation library ("core.matrix.complex"?). In terms of dependencies, it would only need to depend depend upon "core.matrix" and "complex". The array representation could simply be a deftype which uses two underlying arrays for

Are these operations (*, +, etc) interoperable with core.matrix operations? That may end up being pretty key for a lot of numerical users. Chris On Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 3:55:46 PM UTC-7, Alan Forrester wrote: > > https://clojars.org/complex > > https://github.com/alanforr/complex > > Compl
