Matrix operations
Hi!
I've tried to find a library for manipulating matrices (bigger than the 3x3 in the Matrix class) in .NET, but MS doesn't seem to have included any support for this. Anyone knows if someones written a good library for these things? Thanks!

Nope MS doesnt support more than 4x4 even in DirectX. There are numerous 3d party libraries. But in case the matrix isnt like 50x50 why not implement it yourself. I can provide you with samlpe for a Matrix class if you do not have the ground to start from.
Keep in mind for a large matrices you need much more efficient calculating algorithms than simply implementing the math from a linear algebra book.
Of course it will be best if you tell people what is your intent of using it and in what kinf of application.
Thanks for the reply. I guess you're right better do it myself. I thought since matrix manipulation is so common maybe MS could have supplied some functions...
My matrices will be like 15x15 max, used in a finite element method. I really only need to solve x for Ax=B, so no fancy stuff. Would Gaussian elimination work or is there any numerical method for this? Thanks again!
