+# The +Matrix+ class represents a mathematical matrix. It provides methods for creating
+# matrices, operating on them arithmetically and algebraically,
+# and determining their mathematical properties (trace, rank, inverse, determinant).

+# == Method Catalogue
+#
+# To create a matrix:
+# * Matrix[*rows]
+# * Matrix.[](*rows)
+# * Matrix.rows(rows, copy = true)
+# * Matrix.columns(columns)
+# * Matrix.build(row_size, column_size, &block)
+# * Matrix.diagonal(*values)
+# * Matrix.scalar(n, value)
+# * Matrix.identity(n)
+# * Matrix.unit(n)
+# * Matrix.I(n)
+# * Matrix.zero(n)
+# * Matrix.row_vector(row)
+# * Matrix.column_vector(column)
+#
+# To access Matrix elements/columns/rows/submatrices/properties:
+# * #[](i, j)
+# * #row_size
+# * #column_size
+# * #row(i)
+# * #column(j)
+# * #collect
+# * #map
+# * #each
+# * #each_with_index
+# * #find_index
+# * #minor(*param)
+#

+# * #real?
+# * #regular?
+# * #singular?
+# * #square?
+# * #symmetric?
+# * #unitary?
+# * #upper_triangular?
+# * #zero?
+#
+# Matrix arithmetic:
+# * #*(m)
+# * #+(m)
+# * #-(m)
+# * #/(m)
+# * #inverse
+# * #inv
+# * #**
+#
+# Matrix functions:
+# * #determinant
+# * #det
+# * #rank
+# * #round
+# * #trace
+# * #tr
+# * #transpose
+# * #t
+#
+# Matrix decompositions:
+# * #eigen
+# * #eigensystem
+# * #lup
+# * #lup_decomposition
+#
+# Complex arithmetic:
+# * conj
+# * conjugate
+# * imag
+# * imaginary
+# * real
+# * rect
+# * rectangular
+#
+# Conversion to other data types:
