doc string linalg.solve --> works for b is matrix
Hello list, I am using linalg.solve to solve a system of linear equations. As I have to solve multiple systems with the same matrix, but different right-hand sides, I tried to make the right-hand side a matrix and that works fine. So the docstring should say: Solve the equation ``a x = b`` for ``x``. Parameters ---------- a : array_like, shape (M, M) Input equation coefficients. b : array_like, shape (M,) or array_like, shape (M,N) N can be arbitrary size Equation target values. Returns ------- x : array, shape (M,) or array, shape (M,N) Thanks, Mark
What version of numpy are you using? That docstring was updated in that fashion about 8 mo. ago (at least in the Wiki; I'm not sure exactly when it was merged, but it does appear that way in version 1.4.0). DG I am using linalg.solve to solve a system of linear equations. As I have to
