title: Matrix operations in C++ (using Blas/Lapack or some other alternative)
body: <p>I am new to C++, and I am trying to learn how to do matrix operations in C++.</p>
  
  <p>I have read that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprograms" rel="nofollow noreferrer">BLAS</a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAPACK" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LAPACK</a> is the best way to do it (see <a href="http://cpplapack.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://cpplapack.sourceforge.net/</a>). However, I find it difficult to get started with using it.</p>
  
  <p>What is some example code on how I can do simple matrix operations, like matrix multiplication, inverses, etc., using BLAS/LAPACK in C++.</p>
  
  <p>If it is easier using some other alternative, then I would also be curious to see some example code of that.</p>
