Important: The linalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding packages, LinearAlgebra and VectorCalculus, instead.

- For information on migrating linalg code to the new packages, see examples/LinearAlgebraMigration.

The function trace(A) computes the trace of the matrix A. The trace of a matrix A is defined to be the sum of the diagonal elements of A.

The command with(linalg,trace) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
