Re: [office] OpenFormula definitions for ODF 1.4

[Andreas J Guelzow <andreas.guelzow@concordia.ab.ca>]

Hi,

Mathematical definitions are surprisingly inconsistent. For example all of matrix theory comes in two presentation (one being the transpose of the other). From a mathematical point of view it does not matter if we mean left or right eigenvectors when we say eigenvectors but from a spreadsheet point of view it is essential which ones we are talking about.
