Dear András,

Try those different option in MATLAB for example. or Octave/Scilab/Sympy-Matrix... they are all the same. The term "multidimensional arrays"  is a little bit vague. one might think of multidimensional matrices ( I don't think there is such a thing in math) if coming from MATLAB. I also think the row-major column major terminology is confusing. there are no rows or columns for that matter. Numpy ndarrays are homogeneous, uniform nested lists. one can represent different layers of this list in different ways using rows or columns.
