linalg(deprecated)

 trace
 the trace of a matrix

 Calling Sequence trace(A)

Parameters

 A - square matrix

Description

 • Important: The linalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command LinearAlgebra[Trace], instead.
 - For information on migrating linalg code to the new packages, see examples/LinearAlgebraMigration.
 • The function trace(A) computes the trace of the matrix A. The trace of a matrix A is defined to be the sum of the diagonal elements of A.
 • The command with(linalg,trace) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
