.Net Matrix [closed]

Question

Is there a standard .Net matrix class? I cannot find it if there is.

If not, why not? It sounds like something people would need very frequently. Are there any non-standard libs you could recommend?

Answer 1

The XNA Framework has a Matrix structure. I'm not aware of any part of the main framework that has a Matrix class though.

Answer 2

I don't believe there is, partially because any array can technically be called a "Matrix" if it is a single dimension array of length n, it is an n x 1 matrix. There is also the question of whether you'd want the matrix to hold integers, doubles, or other numerical values that may play a role in some Matrix functions.

There do exist various places like here and here that may bundle some Matrix classes with other Linear Algebra functions.
