### Minimal Explanation
`matrico` is a ...
* ... matrix-based numerical computing environment for, and fully written in, _Scheme_.
* ... self-contained implementation with minimal dependencies.
* ... numerical linear algebra code with functional back-end design.
## Background
### Why `matrico`
* Provide more numerical capabilities to _CHICKEN Scheme_ community.
* Contribute scientific computing knowledge as _Scheme_ code.
* Educational project for author and readers.
### Design Concepts
* Provide dense two-dimensional arrays (matrix) of floating-point numbers (flonum) for _CHICKEN Scheme_.
* Provide linear algebra and typical calculator functions for matrices.
* Use only [included modules](http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/5/Included%20modules) of _CHICKEN Scheme_.
* A matrix is a list of (homogeneous) vectors.
* A matrix uses column-major ordering of entries.
* A matrix uses one-based indexing.
* A matrix can only have real-valued flonum entries.
* Everything is a matrix, particularly, matrixes are incompatible with _Scheme_'s (homogeneous) vectors.
* Matrix transformations are based on functional map-reduce approach.

## Performance
Please note:
The author is fully aware that the performance of `matrico` cannot compete with
current numerical environments, which predominantly utilize the highly tuned
[BLAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprograms)
and [LAPACK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAPACK) libraries.
The following `matrico` benchmarks in turn are meant as an indicator to track
version-by-version performance evolution of this **pure** _Scheme_ implementation.

### Coding Guidelines
* Every source file states: project, author, license, version, summary!
* Every function has a one-line summary!
* Import only included modules!
* Avoid `do`, prefer named `let`-recursion!
* Avoid `set-car!` and `set-cdr!`!
* Avoid "multiple values"!
* Avoid `mx-ref` for non-column matrices if possible!
### Notes
* `matrico` should be build with `-O3` if used as a shared object (default).
* `matrico` can be build with `-O5` if `matrico.scm` is included into the source.
