Yeah, that's not quite what I was looking for since I'd like to be able to keep the fast dense matrix multiplication within the blocks. I'm not too familiar with the matrix codebase so I don't know how easy it'd be to do. I was thinking of basically storing a list of blocks as well as a list of t

I am implementing a sparse matrix class for real doubles (finite precision real numbers.) The storage format I am using is called compressed sparse column. This is the standard format used by all sparse matrix libraries as well as matlab http://www.netlib.org/linalg/html_templates/node92.html It

Hello, I just came across a dig post called "Top Open Source Mathematical Programs" - see http://digg.com/software/Top_Open_Source_Mathematical_Programs The post at http://math-blog.com/2007/06/02/3-awesome-free-math-programs/ mentions SAGE, but doesn't go into details :( Cheers, Michael --~

Thanks! However I have the sage programming manual on my desk (March 6, 2007) and there is no mention of a TESTS section. The official sections are (description: anonymous) INPUT OUTPUT EXAMPLES NOTES AUTHORS See p6. If a TESTS section exists then it should probably be mentionned in this

There is something I have not fully understood yet. If I understand correctly doctests appears in the documentation as "examples". Now many doctests deal with obscure borderline cases (as regression tests) so they are uninteresting as examples. Is there a way to hide such doctests from the documen
