## Definition

An instance of data type `Matrix` is a matrix of variables of number type `NT`. The types `Matrix` and `Vector` together realize many functions of basic linear algebra.

## Types
typedef unspecified_type | NT
| the ring type of the components.
typedef unspecified_type | iterator
| bidirectional iterator for accessing all components row-wise.
typedef unspecified_type | const_iterator
| bidirectional iterator for accessing all components row-wise.
typedef unspecified_type | row_iterator
| random access iterator for accessing row entries.
typedef unspecified_type | const_row_iterator
| random access iterator for accessing row entries.
typedef unspecified_type | column_iterator
| random access iterator for accessing column entries.
typedef unspecified_type | const_column_iterator
| random access iterator for accessing column entries.
typedef unspecified_type | Identity
| a tag class for identity initialization
typedef unspecified_type | Vector
| the vector type used.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Matrix() [1/2]

template<class Forward_iterator >

Matrix::Matrix | ( | Forward_iterator | first,
|  | Forward_iterator | last
| ) |  |

creates an instance `M` of type `Matrix`.

Let \( S\) be the ordered set of \( n\) column-vectors of common dimension \( m\) as given by the iterator range `[first,last)`. `M` is initialized to an \( m \times n\) matrix with the columns as specified by \( S\).

Precondition
  `Forward_iterator` has a value type `V` from which we require to provide a iterator type `V::const_iterator`, to have `V::value_type == NT`.

Note that `Vector` or `std::vector<NT>` fulfill these requirements.

## ◆ Matrix() [2/2]

creates an instance `M` of type `Matrix`.
