It seems I may be a bit out of my element here! Nonetheless, i believe I had http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_expansion in mind--that is, expansion of cofactors. It's been a while, but I recall this process scaling to, well, scalars. I might be wrong! --Josh _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
