NAME

Math::Symbolic::MiscAlgebra - Miscellaneous algebra routines like det()

SYNOPSIS

use Math::Symbolic qw/:all/;
use Math::Symbolic::MiscAlgebra qw/:all/; # not loaded by Math::Symbolic

@matrix = (['x*y', 'z*x', 'y*z'],['x', 'z', 'z'],['x', 'x', 'y']);
$det = det @matrix;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides several subroutines related to algebra such as computing the determinant of nxn matrices.

Please note that the code herein may or may not be refactored into the OO-interface of the Math::Symbolic module in the future.

EXPORT

None by default.

You may choose to have any of the following routines exported to the calling namespace. ':all' tag exports all of the following:

det

SUBROUTINES

det

det() computes the determinant of a matrix of Math::Symbolic trees (or strings that can be parsed as such). First argument must be a literal array: "det @matrix", where @matrix is an n x n matrix.
