Re: Need n dimensional matrix

[Ronald F Boisvert <boisvert@nist.gov>]

JAMA is designed to be a general-purpose user-level linear algebra
package.  While we recognize the need for specialized operations
for a number of application areas, we believe that these should be
placed in special-purpose classes designed for the particular
application area.

The package javax.vecmath contains specialized methods for manipulating
2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 matrices.  These were developed along with Java3D,
and should be ideal for your needs.
