I think the LinearAlgebra package is now considered obsolete so I
don't think it has been revised since version 5.2 (although I have not
tried checking this). Anyway, I think the quickest way to compute the
2-norm condition number of a matrix m is
With[{l = SingularValueList[m]}, First[l]/Last[l]] // N
