pip install vectorgebra==1.0.0

https://pypi.org/project/vectorgebra/1.0.0/

Vectorgebra.Vector

Includes basic and some sophisticated operations on vectors.

Addition, multiplication subtraction, division and operations alike are implemented as overloads. Comparison operators compare the length of the vectors. Only exception is == which returns True if and only if all the terms of the vectors are equal.

Methods are listed below.

Vectorgebra.Vector.dot(v)

Returns the dot product of self with v.

Vectorgebra.Vector.append(v)

Appends the argument to the vector. Returns the new vector. Argument can be int, float or Vector.

Vectorgebra.Vector.copy()

Returns the copy of the vector.

Vectorgebra.Vector.pop(ord)

Functions exactly the same as .pop() for the list class. If left blank, pops the last element and returns it. If specified, pops the intended element and returns it.

Vectorgebra.Vector.length()

Returns the length of self.

Vectorgebra.Vector.proj(v)

Projects self onto v and returns the resulting vector. Due to the division included, may result in inaccurate values that should have been zero. However, these values are very close to zero and are of magnitude 10-17. This situation is important for the method Vector.spanify().

Vectorgebra.Vector.unit()

Returns the unit vector.

Vectorgebra.Vector.spanify(*args)

Applies Gram-Schmidt process to the given list of vectors. Returns the list of resulting vectors. May have inaccuracies explained for Vector.dot() method.

Vectorgebra.Vector.does_span(*args)

Returns True if the given list of vectors span the Rn space where n is the number of vectors. Returns False otherwise. Eliminates the possible error from Vector.spanify() method. Therefore, this method will work just fine regardless the errors from divisions.

Vectorgebra.Vector.randVint(dim , a, b)

Returns dim dimensional vector which has its elements randomly selected as integers within the interval (a, b).

Vectorgebra.Vector.randVfloat(dim, a, b)

Returns dim dimensional vector which has its elements randomly selected as floats within the interval (a, b).

Vectorgebra.Vector.randVbool(dim)

Returns dim dimensional vector which has its elements randomly selected as booleans.

Vectorgebra.Vector.determinant(*args)

Returns the determinant of the matrix which has rows given as vectors in *args. This method is not intended for casual use. It is a background tool for cross product and the determinant method for Matrix class.

Vectorgebra.Vector.cross(*args)

Returns the cross product of the vectors given in *args.

Vectorgebra.Vector.cumsum()

Returns the cumulative sum.

Footnotes

Rotation is not implemented, because only reasonable way to implement it would be for just 2D and 3D vectors, which is not satisfying.


Vectorgebra.Matrix

Includes basic operations for matrices.

Basic operations like addition, multiplication subtraction, division are implemented as overloads. Only comparison operator implemented is == which returns true if and only if all the elements of the matrices are equal.

Methods are listed below.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.determinant(m)

Returns the determinant of the matrix m.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.append(arg)

Appends arg as a new row to self. Only accepts vectors as arguments.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.copy()

Returns the copy of the matrix.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.pop(ord)

Functions exactly the same as .pop() in list class. If left blank, pops the last row and returns it. If specified, pops the row in the given order and returns it.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.transpose()

Returns the transpose matrix of self

Vectorgebra.Matrix.inverse()

Returns the inverse matrix of self. Returns None if not invertible.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.identity(dim)

Returns dim dimensional identity matrix.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.randMint(m, n, a, b)

Returns mxn matrix of random integers selected from the interval (a, b).

Vectorgebra.Matrix.randMfloat(m, n, a, b)

Returns mxn matrix of random floats selected from the interval (a, b).

Vectorgebra.Matrix.randMbool(m, n)

Returns mxn matrix of random booleans.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.echelon()

Returns reduced row echelon form of self. Also does reorganization on rows and multiplies one of them by -1 every 2 reorganization. This is for the determinant to remain unchanged.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.det_echelon()

Returns determinant of self via .echelon() method. This is faster than the other determinant method, which also loses time during type conversions. But this method does not return the exact value and has a very small error compared to the original determinant. This is due to floating point numbers and can be disregarded for most of the uses.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.fast_inverse()

Returns the inverse matrix, faster. Implements echelon algorithm to calculate determinants. Otherwise, it's the same. The other inverse method is faster when working with smaller dimensional matrices. But as the dimension grows, speed of this algorithm gets faster many orders of magnitude rapidly.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.cramer(a, number)

Applies Cramers rule to the equation system represented by the matrix a. number indicates which variable to calculate.

Vectorgebra.Matrix.cumsum()

Returns the cumulative sum.


Constants

Pi, e and ln(2). Nothing more.

Functions

Vectorgebra.Range(low: int or float, high: int or float, step)

A lazy implementation of range. There is indeed no range. Just a loop with yield statement. Almost as fast as the built-in range.

Vectorgebra.abs(arg: int or float)

Returns the absolute value of the argument.

Vectorgebra.cumsum(arg: list or float)

Returns the cumulative sum of the iterable.

Vectorgebra.__cumdiv(x: int or float, power: int)

Calculates xn / power!. This is used to calculate Taylor series without data loss (at least minimal data loss).

Vectorgebra.e(exponent: int or float, resolution: int)

Calculates eexponent. resolution is passed as power to the __cumdiv(). It will then define the maximal power of the power series implementation, therefore is a resolution.

Trigonometrics

All are of the format Vectorgebra.name(x: int or float, resolution: int). Calculates the value of the named trigonometric function via Taylor series. Again, resolution is passed as power to __cumdiv().

Vectorgebra.__find(...)

This is a helper function for Math.solve(). Arguments are the same. Returns the first zero that it finds and saves it to memory.

Vectorgebra.solve(f, low, high, search_step, res)

Finds zeroes of function f. It may not be able to find all zeroes, but is pretty precise when it finds some. If the functions derivative large around its zero, then you should increase resolution to do a better search.

Retrieves found zeroes from the memory, then clears it. Calling multiple instances of this function at the same time will result in errors because of this global memory usage.

This function is optimized for polynomials. It doesn't matter how many zeroes they have since this function utilizes a thread pool. This solver is slow when utilized with Taylor series based functions.

There is an obvious solution to this speed problem though. Just put expanded form as the argument. Not the implicit function form.

Vectorgebra.complex

This is the complex number class. It has + - / * overloaded.

Vectorgebra.complex.conjugate()

Returns the complex conjugate of self.

Vectorgebra.complex.length()

Returns the length of self, with treating it as a vector.

Vectorgebra.complex.range(lowreal, highreal, lowimg, highimg, step1, step2)

Creates a complex number range, ranging from complex(lowreal, lowimg) to complex(highreal, highimg). Steps are 1 by default. Again this is a lazy implementation.

Vectorgebra.complex.inverse()

Returns 1 / self. This is used in division. If divisor is complex, then this function is applied with multiplication to get the result.

Vectorgebra.complex.rotate(angle: int or float)

Rotates self by angle.

Vectorgebra.complex.rotationFactor(angle: int or float)

Returns ei*angle as a complex number.


Exceptions

Vectorgebra.DimensionError

Anything related to dimensions of vectors and matrices. Raised in Vector class when dimensions of operands don't match or 0 is given as a dimension to random vector generating functions.

This error is raised in Matrix class when non-square matrices are passed into inverse calculating functions.

DimensionError(1) has been changed to RangeError, but is still in the code.

Vectorgebra.ArgTypeError

Anything related to types of arguments. There are 8 modes of this exception depending on the conditions. These modes are defined by different combinations of types. For example type "i" is used for errors about arguments that should have been only integers.

Vectorgebra.ArgumentError

Raised when an incorrect amount of arguments is passed into functions.

Vectorgebra.RangeError

Raised when given arguments are out of required range.

Vectorgebra.MathArgError

Raised when argument(s) are of wrong type.

Vectorgebra.MathRangeError

Raised when argument(s) are off range.
