Chapter 6. Matrix Classes (.NET, C#, CSharp, VB, Visual Basic, F#)

The NMath matrix classes represent mathematical matrices of a particular datatype. Each class contains a reference to the data block they are viewing (see Chapter 4), along with the parameter values necessary to define their view:

the number of rows and columns

the distance between successive row elements, called the row stride

the distance between successive column elements, called the column stride

This is generally transparent to you. NMath provides indexers to perform the necessary indirection. For example, A[i,j] always returns the element in the ith row and jth column of matrix A's view of the data.

NOTE—Indexing starts at 0.
