Conversion
63-
$matrix->values produces [[3,4,5],[1,3,4]] recursive array references of numbers (not MathObjects)
64-
$matrix->wwMatrix produces CPAN MatrixReal1 matrix, used for computation subroutines
69+
$matrix->value produces an array of numbers (for a 1D tensor) or array refs representing the rows.
70+
These are perl numbers and array refs, not MathObjects.
71+
$M1->value is (1, 2, 3)
72+
$M2->value is ([1, 2], [3, 4])
73+
$M3->value is ([[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]])
74+
$matrix->wwMatrix produces CPAN MatrixReal1 matrix, used for computation subroutines and can only
75+
be used on 1D tensors (row vector) or 2D tensors (matrix).

Information
67-
$matrix->dimension: ARRAY
78+
$matrix->dimensions produces an array. For an n-dimensional tensor, the array has n entries for
79+
the n dimensions.

row : MathObjectMatrix

column : MathObjectMatrix
73-
element : Real or Complex value
83+
row(i) : MathObjectMatrix
84+
For a 1D tensor, produces a 1D tensor
85+
For nD tensor with n > 1, produces a (n-1)D tensor
86+
column(j) : MathObjectMatrix or Real or Complex
87+
For a 1D tensor, produces a Real or Complex
88+
For nD tensor with n > 1, produces an nD tensor where 2nd dimension is 1
89+
element : Real or Complex value when passed the same number of arguments as the dimension of the tensor.
90+
If passed more than n arguments, null. If the dimension of the tensor is n and element is passed
91+
k arguments with k < n, then this produces the corresponding (n-k)-dimensional tensor.
