Hello, Sorry to disturb again, but the topic still bugs me somehow... I'll try to rephrase the question: - What's the influence of the type of N-array representation with respect to TENSOR-calculus? - Are multiple representations possible? - I assume that the order of the dimensions plays a

Ok, thanks for the reply! Indeed, I know about the use of transformation matrices to manipulate points in space. That's all matrix manipulation anyway But, (and perhaps this is not the right place to ask the following question): But are there no known mathmatical algorithms which involve the

Hello, I'm a novice with respect to scientific computing using python. I've read that numpy.array isn't arranged according to the 'right-hand-rule' (right-hand-rule = thumb = +x; index finger = +y, bend middle finder = +z). This is also confirmed by an old message I dug up from the mailing list
