[Numpy-discussion] linear algebra help

[Quilby]

Right the dimensions I gave were wrong.
What do I need to do for m>=n (more rows than columns)?  Can I use the
same function?

When I run the script written by Nils (thanks!) I get:
    from numpy.random import rand, seed
ImportError: No module named random

But importing numpy works ok. What do I need to install?

Thanks again!
