Perfect!

17:54 CoCoALib Bug #1014 (In Progress): RowMat, ColMat with arg an empty list/vector
- Another (mild?) incompatibility is that in CoCoA-5 @RowMat@ and @ColMat@ accept as input lists of INT and/or RAT.
In... -

Is there a situation where one might reasonably ... -
- In CoCoA-5 one can call @RowMat([])@ and @ColMat([])@ to produce a matrix 1x0 or 0x1.
In CoCoALib a similar call pro... -
- What should @RowMat@ and @ColMat@ do if given am empty list/vector as argument?
-
- What should these functions do if the matrix is 0-by-C or R-by-0?
Return a 0-by-1 or 1-by-0 matrix? -
- Another possibility: uglier, but possibly clearer?

-
- I have added some hasty tutorials... no doubt it is clear that they have been hastily written.
21 Feb 2017
-
- There is less than a week to go to the mini-course. It would be nice to make some progress with the tutorials.

08:00 CoCoALib Slug #777: SLUG: elimination

I think @myFinalizeGBasis@ can be improved...

Maybe @elim@ can be programmed to us... -

It seems that much of the tim... -
- How about starting with just two ranges?
1--9 for users
10--??? for CoCoA packages and CoCoALib
I had also consi... -

1 digit -- free for users
2 digits -- cocoalib and cocoa pac...

-

- Checked-in an update to all Makefiles. Hope it works -- I did mess some things up :-(

- OK, then we agree to eliminate the function @square@. It will disappear the next time I do a check in (later today?)

Maybe I could show it to you and decide.
