Ironically I learned a lot more about linear algebra from that header file than from my actual teacher.I just saw a "faster linear algebra" package scroll by on pacman. I almost pulled up the source/documentation. The only thing that stopped me was that I have about 199 things more relevant to my usage than linear algebra.
