I think the page lacks some key points, at least concerning these rank
issues, where numpy and matlab are quite different (for example, nowhere
it is said that slicing gives an array whose rank is different than the
original array). Once I am sure to get my head around the whole issue, I
will try to complete it accordingly.
That would be great.
Despite the fact that there's a column for 'array' there, most of the page was written with the assumption that you're using matlab for linear algebra, and so will be doing most everything with 'matrix', not 'array'. Slicing a 2-index matrix always returns another 2-index matrix. But you have a very good point when it comes to 'array's.
