the norm of a complex number <img alt="$a+bi$"

<p><font face="serif">As some of you are working on completing your
NMR project with DFT I should mention that the iterative solver
may not always converge as in many instances the spectral radius
is greater than 1 or the matrices are not strictly diagonally
dominant. In those cases your code should print out something
like</font></p>
