Re: [Numpy-discussion] Matlab page on scipy wiki

[Bruce S. <bso...@gm...>]

Hi,
The example of ndim to give the rank is not the same as the Matlab
function rank(a). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_of_a_matrix for definition of rank
that I would think that most people would use if they use Matlab and
is provided by rank(a).

I have not used the latest numpy but the equivalent function is not
present in numarray/Numeric (to my knowledge) so you have to find some
other way like using svd.

Regards
Bruce

that would be great.  I think this will be a helpful "getting started" page=
 for newbies to NumPy coming from matlab, like me.  One of the most frustra=
ting things is when you sit down and can't figure out how to do the most ba=
sic things that do in your sleep in another environment (like making a colu=
mn vector).  So hopefully this page will help.
