Welcome to the core.matrix wiki!

About

core.matrix is an API and library for multi-dimensional matrix and vector maths in Clojure.

Key objectives:

• Provide a clear, standard API / abstraction for matrix and vector maths in Clojure
• Enable pluggable support for different underlying matrix library implementations
• Provide a general purpose n-dimensional array implementation (NumPy style)
• Provide a foundation layer for other projects (e.g. Incanter)
• Maintain excellent performance wherever possible

Tutorials / guides

• Vectors vs. Matrices - FAQ on the differences between 1D vectors and 2D matrices
• Broadcasting - how broadcasting works in core.matrix
• Views - what are views, and how to use them
• Matrix Implementations - what core.matrix implementations are currently available?
• vectorz-clj examples - external link to vectorz-clj Wiki
