Pipmak uses Lua as its scripting language. For an overview of the
built-in mathematical capabilities of Lua, see <

possible to do them "by hand" by element-wise looping over Lua lists.
That should work well enough if all you need to do is multiplying a
4x4 matrix to a vector, but it might not cut it if you're trying to
diagonalize 1000x1000 matrices or something. If you need something
more efficient, I could imagine that Lua bindings to some optimized
numerical computation libraries exist. You might find something on the
sites linked from <
http://www.lua.org/community.html>, and if you do,
it could probably be used in Pipmak using the extension module support
that I'm currently working on.
Does that answer your question?
