Howdy,
I'm a college student and for one of we are writing programs to
numerically compute the parameters of antenna arrays. I decided to use
Python to code up my programs. Up to now I haven't had a problem,
however we have a problem set where we are creating a large matrix and
finding it's inverse to solve the problem. To invert the matrix I've
tried using numpy.numarray.linear_algebra.inverse and
numpy.oldnumeric.linear_algebra.inverse which both give me the same
error ( I was hoping they called different routines but I think they
call the same one ).
This is the error message I receive:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: can't convert complex to float; use abs(z)
I've tried inverting small complex matrices and it worked fine. Does
anyone know why it won't work for this larger matrix? Any ideas how I
can work around this problem and get the correct inverse matrix?

P.S. elen636_math.py is my personal library of functions I've create to
solve the problem while elen636_hw5_2.py is the program that I'm
actually running
# Purpose:
# This is a library of functions for ELEN 636 that
# so far has the ability to calculate the Sine and
# Cosine integrals as well as the mutual impedance
# between two parallel antennas.

###############
### NOTE: The functions below for the sine and cosine integrals are similar
### to the functions I turned in for homework assignment 4 problem 6
### except that I added the ability to check for convergence.
### I also added the factor into the mutual impedance formula so that the
### answer is given in terms of the terminal input impedance instead of
### the loop impedance as it was formerly giving.
