[ruby-core:65178] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10073] [PATCH] Implement Laplace expansion for matrix.

Issue #10073 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune.


Looks good.

I'd change the interface slightly so we can call it with named parameters instead:

    m.laplace_expansion(row: k-1) == m.laplace_expansion(column: k-1) == m.det

Of course, m.laplace_expansion or m.laplace_expansion(row: 0, column: 0) would raise errors.

@gogo tanaka: what do you think about this?

----------------------------------------
Laplace expansion has really important mathematical property.

We can handle many thing with this (determinant, cross product)

So I'm confident that this method is necessary.

But I recognize Ruby should be not for mathematician but rubyist.

Ruby doesn't need too academic method.

So If you think it is too academic you can ignore my patches.

gogo.
