Recently we have been spending a good part of our time together exploring various ways to decompose a matrix.  We have found many ways to factor matrices, including
QR:  
Cholesky:  
and LU:  
All of  which are mostly used to solve linear systems of equations,
.
More recently, we […]

As we learned in class last week, BLAS, which stands for Basic Linear Algebra Subprogams, is a standardized application programming interface for publishing libraries to perform basic linear algebra operations. According to netlib, “BLAS are routines that provide standard building blocks for performing basic vector and matrix operations.” BLAS has three levels of […]
