<p>These modules provide basic mathematical operations to be run on array and matrices.</p>
<p>For a distributed system, a matrix cannot simply be represented as a 2D array of numbers in memory. <b>We provide two forms of distributed representation of a matrix</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dense: The matrix is represented as a distributed collection of 1-D arrays. An example 3x10 matrix would be the below table: <pre>
 row_id |         row_vec
--------+-------------------------
   1    | {9,6,5,8,5,6,6,3,10,8}
   2    | {8,2,2,6,6,10,2,1,9,9}
   3    | {3,9,9,9,8,6,3,9,5,6}
</pre></li>
<li>Sparse: The matrix is represented using the row and column indices for each non-zero entry of the matrix. Example: <pre>
 row_id | col_id | value
--------+--------+-------
      1 |      1 |     9
      1 |      5 |     6
      1 |      6 |     6
      2 |      1 |     8
      3 |      1 |     3
      3 |      2 |     9
      4 |      7 |     0
(6 rows)
</pre> &#160; All matrix operations work with either form of representation.</li>
</ul>
<p>In many cases, a matrix function can be <b>decomposed to vector operations applied independently on each row of a matrix (or corresponding rows of two matrices)</b>. We have also provided access to these internal vector operations (<a class="el" href="group__grp__array.html">Array Operations</a>) for greater flexibility. Matrix operations like <em>matrix_add</em> use the corresponding vector operation (<em>array_add</em>) and also include additional validation and formating. Other functions like <em>matrix_mult</em> are complex and use a combination of such vector operations and other SQL operations.</p>
<p><b>It's important to note</b> that these array functions are only available for the dense format representation of the matrix. In general, the scope of a single array function invocation is limited to only an array (1-dimensional or 2-dimensional) that fits in memory. When such function is executed on a table of arrays, the function is called multiple times - once for each array (or pair of arrays). On contrary, scope of a single matrix function invocation is the complete matrix stored as a distributed table. </p>
