Hi.  I have Ver 6, and not 6.0.2

 

m = RandomInteger[{-9, 9}, {20, 20}] // N;

 

If I do MatrixConditionNumber[m, Norm->2], it returns unevaluated.
However, 

 

MatrixConditionNumber[m, 2]

65.3896

 

I don't understand the online code, and the numbers are slightly different,
but is this the same thing?  I'm not sure from reading the code.

 

MatrixConditionNumber[m, LUDecomposition[m], 2]

65.4541

 

As a side note, the Infinity Norm is now:

 

LUDecomposition[m] // Last

281.188

 

and not...

 

MatrixConditionNumber[m, \[Infinity]]

281.188
