Post subject:  Bugs in matrix code?
This seems like a bug to me. Working with matrices, I get the following from Singular:

> m;
1,2,3,
4,5,6,
7,8,9
> minor(m,2);
_[1]=-3
_[2]=-6
_[3]=-6
_[4]=-12
_[5]=3
_[6]=6
_[7]=-3
_[8]=-6
_[9]=3

From hand computation, I get
-3, +6, -3, +6, -12, +6, -3, +6, -3

Are we working from different definitions, or am I just off base?

Regards,

Justin

Dear Justin Walker,

the Singular command minor is mainly intended for computing the ideal spanned by all the minors. Thus Singular does not care about signs.

Sincerely,

Oliver Wienand
