Hi,
I have the following problem when I use the LinearAlgebra`MatrixManipulation
Package. I also use Math2.2 for DOS and wnmath2.2 notebook. All of them have
the same result.
I am new to the Mathematica. Are there something I am doing wrong? I followed
the exact procedure described on pp 218-219 in the book Guide to Standard
Mathematica Packages Version 2.2.
I need to do a lot of matrix manipulations in my symbolic computation. Could
somebody help me to solve this problem?
Thanks
