Hi Matt,

Well, I got the typos fixed and some spacing errors and was able to
run the test_matrices.py.  It crapped out on the matrix

A = Matrix(4,4,(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16))

This matrix has zero determinant by the other methods (I checked) but
fails with my LU decomp method because LUdecomposition() itself fails.
I gather that LU decomp has a problem for any square singular matrix.
So, this method is not going to work for a general square matrix of
numbers.  However, I have not seen an example of a symbolic matrix for
which it has failed. Hence, perhaps with the caveat that it is not ok
for matrices which have det = 0 and probably works for most symbolic
matrices, I think I could proceed with a pull request. What do you
think? If the other developers are going to recommend killing the idea
I will not bother to do a pull request.

I do have the is_anti_symmetric method and the dual of a square matrix
which can perhaps still go.

What do you think?

Comer
