Performance Warning: Matrix values are arrays, as exported by math/array. The same performance warning applies: operations are currently 25-50 times slower in untyped Racket than in Typed Racket, due to the overhead of checking higher-order contracts. We are working on it.

For now, if you need speed, use the typed/racket language.

 (require math/matrix) package: math-lib

Like all of math, math/matrix is a work in progress. Most of the basic algorithms are implemented, but some are still in planning. Possibly the most useful unimplemented algorithms are
  • LUP decomposition (currently, LU decomposition is implemented, in matrix-lu)

  • matrix-solve for triangular matrices

  • Singular value decomposition (SVD)

  • Eigendecomposition

  • Decomposition-based solvers

  • Pseudoinverse and least-squares solving
