[Numpy-discussion] objects are not aligned. Matrix and Array

[Wayne Watson]

Is math automatic (built-in)?

Same result with np.dot(m2, m1).

Ah, this works. dotres = np.dot(m2.T, m1).
It looks to me like the shapes are the same, so maybe dot() requires one 
as a column vector and one as a row.


Thanks.
