Purely symbolic matrix manipulation suite comprised of 50 operators for matrix (OCaml array) creation, manipulation and calculation—mostly translations of Array library functions with some interesting additions. Will likely continue to grow as it's used.
In general, the leftmost character of an operator signals the associativity (prefix/infix) or left argument to the operator. The middle character denotes the operation being carried out, and the rightmost character signals the righthand argument for infix operators.
~ prefix - if first character of operator is ~ then there is only 1 argument, postfixed (~? abc)
! prefix - same as ~ but for matrix operations (!? mat)
^ vector - the argument on that side is a vector (vec ^?? ... or ... ??^ vec)
@ matrix - same as ^ but for matrices (... ??@ mat or mat @?? ...)
| scalar - same as ^,@, used when a scalar is required as an argument (ex. mat @^| 3 or 2 |*| 1.0)
. mutable operator - whenever . appears, there is mutability at play
~?> print operator for matrix/vector (ex. ~@> mat, ~^> vec)
It appears incomprehensible at first but you may find that there's some method to the madness.

endThe first 30 operators deal with creation and manipulation of matrices. The last 20 are arithmetic operators.
Note that vectors are handled irrespective of orientation—there is no difference between a vector of size [n x 1] and one sized [1 x n]. In calculations it is assumed that a vector has the orientation required for the operation. As such, there is no transpose function for vectors.

ACamlMatLib allows for polymorphic computations by utilizing a functor requiring the MatLibSettings module be passed into the matrix library upon creation.
