| + | One of the main challenges of this problem is figuring out how to enter the elements of the matrix quickly and reliably. For a small matrix, it's easy to type out the matrix explicitly like ''A = [ 1 9 7 ; 4 3 8 ; 6 2 0]'', but for a 13 x 13 matrix with 169 elements, that's tedious and error prone. | ||
