Getting into the groove

Looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this project. The functionality is coming along nicely. Most of my first week was spent putting together some new manipulation functions including matrix slicing (i.e. a submatrix operator like M[0:2,:]). You can also assign values too which is handly.

This week has been focused on LU decomposition and making a solver for that (which will also yield a nice matrix inverter). I think I've finally got the pivoting working properly so I'm glad for that.

As someone who didn't do a terrible amount of coding as a undergrad I have to say that I finally see the appeal of the whole process.

Hope things are going well for the other SOC'ers,
Chris
