[Axiom-developer] [numerical linear algebra] (new)

[anonymous]

I'm new to Axiom, so maybe I'm doing things in a stupid way.

I want to get (estimates of) the eigenvalues of a 10x10 matrix of floats:

\begin{axiom}
m := matrix([[random()$Integer for i in 1..10] for j in 1..10]); sm := m + 
transpose(m); smf:Matrix Float := sm
\end{axiom}

The problem is: If I now call eigenvalues(smf) on the symmetric float matrix 
smf Axiom 3.0 Beta (February 2005) runs for a very long time (uncomment code if 
you want to try it):
\begin{axiom}
)set messages time on
-- eigenvalues(smf)
\end{axiom}
