# The +Matrix+ class represents a mathematical matrix. It provides methods for creating
# matrices, operating on them arithmetically and algebraically,
# and determining their mathematical properties (trace, rank, inverse, determinant).
#
# == Method Catalogue
#
# To create a matrix:
# * Matrix[*rows]
# * Matrix.[](*rows)
# * Matrix.rows(rows, copy = true)
# * Matrix.columns(columns)
# * Matrix.build(row_count, column_count, &block)
# * Matrix.diagonal(*values)
# * Matrix.scalar(n, value)
# * Matrix.identity(n)
# * Matrix.unit(n)
# * Matrix.I(n)
# * Matrix.zero(n)
# * Matrix.row_vector(row)
# * Matrix.column_vector(column)
#
# To access Matrix elements/columns/rows/submatrices/properties:
# * #[](i, j)
# * #row_count (row_size)
# * #column_count (column_size)
# * #row(i)
# * #column(j)
# * #collect
# * #map
# * #each
# * #each_with_index
# * #find_index
# * #minor(*param)
#
# Properties of a matrix:
# * #diagonal?
# * #empty?
# * #hermitian?

# * #real?
# * #regular?
# * #singular?
# * #square?
# * #symmetric?
# * #unitary?
# * #upper_triangular?
# * #zero?
#
# Matrix arithmetic:
# * #*(m)
# * #+(m)
# * #-(m)
# * #/(m)
# * #inverse
# * #inv
# * #**
#
# Matrix functions:
# * #determinant
# * #det
# * #rank
# * #round
# * #trace
# * #tr
# * #transpose
# * #t
#
# Matrix decompositions:
# * #eigen
# * #eigensystem
# * #lup
# * #lup_decomposition
#
# Complex arithmetic:
# * conj
# * conjugate
# * imag
# * imaginary
# * real
# * rect
# * rectangular
#
# Conversion to other data types:
# * #coerce(other)
# * #row_vectors
# * #column_vectors
# * #to_a
#
# String representations:
# * #to_s
# * #inspect
