<p>For most of the problems in chapter 6 the matrices are small so
that you can see how to implement the algorithms by hand. You can
certainly use the armadillo, GSL, BLAS/LAPACK, but you will want
to know how to do the work by hand for upcoming tests.</p>
<p>For my problem the main algorithm you need is matrix
multiplication (in both REAL and COMPLEX) forms. I recommend at
some point you write your own matrix multiplication algorithm --
but you can certainly use any of the libraries for my problems.</p>
