'''May the 25th Update:'''
After the community bonding period and before starting today the coding period, I will briefly list the transformation that has undergone my initial proposal: from just implementing new algorithms and then add them to GNU Octave, to various modifications of GNU Octave itself so that Higham's toolboxes run smoothly and in the end add the new algorithms. Sticking to what I said before, I expect to be doing the modifications (e.g. new bugs, patches, toolboxes) most of the first half of the coding period.

From there we aim to go as far as we can about matrix functions, I will do so.


On the side, I reckon that fast-running matrix manipulation involves C++, a weakness I will cure with a quick refreshment and reading lots of GNU Octave code.

Important dates: all of them, but specially the 'Midterm' on the 3rd of July (week 6), the 'Firm Pencils Down' on the 21st of August, and the 'Final Evaluation' on the 28th of August.
