Rather elementary page that appears to be a snippet from a text on C++ programming. Too trivial to merit an article, definitely not notable by itself. (Matrices & tensors are covered elsewhere.) Ldm1954 (talk) 09:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Dear Ldm1954,

I am sorry, but the "snippet" contains an absolutely new implementation of object-oriented matrix/tensor algorithms concerning

- matrix and tensor objects for object-oriented numerical methods and programming in C++,

- a new matrix arithmetic by overloading the well-known standard arithmetic and functional operators,

- an arithmetic for multidimensional matrices with a generalized matrix multiplication,

- new objects and object-oriented member functions for MATRIX, VEKTOR, BASIS and a variety of more tensor-objects etc.

You may study the cited literature to understand better the innovation of this matrix/tensor calculus. The article is only a compact Tutorial as an introduction for the application, and it was not yet finished.

With best regards

Dear Ldm1954, Today I changed the title of my contribution to "Matrix and Tensor Objects for Numerical Simulations", because of personal reasons not related to your critical comment!

• Delete. As far as I can tell, the two sentences in this article amount to "Physics and engineering use matrices and tensors for theoretical models. These theoretical models are used on computers to design things."— Moriwen (talk) 14:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK and not-so-subtle WP:COI given the username of the article creator and the references cited. This does not have the tone and scope of an encyclopedia article. (Note: my comments are based on this version, but still apply after the content removal.) --Kinu ^t/_c 19:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Delete, especially in the current almost empty state of the article, but also before as discussed above. popodameron ⁠talk 19:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Delete: the conceptual material here is already covered in other WP articles on linear algebra and the both the title & specific content here violates WP:NOTTEXTBOOK.
