   <title>Linear Algebra</title>

   <!-- ************************************************************************* -->

   <body>
         <p>
            This page documents the core linear algebra tools included in dlib.
            In particular, the three most important objects in this part of the library are the
            <a href="#matrix">matrix</a>, <a href="#vector">vector</a>, and 
            <a href="#rectangle">rectangle</a>.  All the other tools on this page
            are functions for manipulating these three objects.  A good example and introduction 
            can be found in
            the <a href="matrix_ex.cpp.html">matrix example program</a>.
         </p>

         <p>
            Most of the linear algebra tools deal with dense matrices.  However, there is also
            a limited amount of support for working with sparse matrices and vectors.
            In particular, the dlib tools represent sparse vectors using the containers 
            in the C++ STL.  For details, see the notes at the top of 
            <a href="dlib/svm/sparse_vector_abstract.h.html#sparse_vectors">dlib/svm/sparse_vector_abstract.h</a>.
         </p>
         <p>
            Finally, note that all the dense matrix tools can be obtained by #including <tt>&lt;dlib/matrix.h&gt;</tt>
            while the sparse vector tools can be obtained by #including <tt>&lt;dlib/sparse_vector.h&gt;</tt>.  The 
            geometry tools can be used by #including <tt>&lt;dlib/geometry.h&gt;</tt>.
         </p>

         <description>
           This is a 2D matrix object that enables you to write code that deals with
           matrices using a simple syntax similar to what can be written in MATLAB.  It is implemented using 
           the <a href="matrix_expressions_ex.cpp.html">expression templates</a> technique which allows it to eliminate the 
           temporary matrix objects that would normally be returned from expressions 
           such as M = A+B+C+D;  Normally each invocation of the + operator would 
           construct and return a temporary matrix object but using this technique 
           we can avoid creating all these temporary objects and receive a large speed boost.
           <p>
           This object is also capable of using BLAS and LAPACK libraries such as ATLAS or the Intel
           MKL when available.   To enable BLAS support all you have to do is #define 
           DLIB_USE_BLAS and then make sure you link your application with your 
           BLAS library.  Similarly, to enable LAPACK support just #define DLIB_USE_LAPACK and 
           link to your LAPACK library.  Finally, the use of BLAS and LAPACK is transparent to 
           the user, that is, the dlib matrix object uses BLAS and LAPACK internally to optimize 
           various operations while still allowing the user to use a simple MATLAB like syntax.  
           </p>
           <p>
           Note that the cmake files that come with dlib will automatically link with ATLAS or the Intel
           MKL if they are installed.  So using cmake makes this easy, but by no means are you required 
           to use cmake or the dlib cmake files. 
           </p>
           <p>
              It is also worth noting that all the preconditions of every function 
              related to the matrix object are checked by <a href="metaprogramming.html#DLIB_ASSERT">DLIB_ASSERT</a>
              statements and thus can be enabled by #defining ENABLE_ASSERTS or DEBUG.  Doing
              this will cause your program to run slower but should catch any usage errors.
