== Description ==

Most operators work as expected.

For the most part, prefixing an operator with a dot (`.`) causes element-wise operation. For example:
 * `.*` for element-wise multiplication
 * `./` for element-wise right division
 * `.\` for element-wise left division
 * `.^` for element-wise power

Matrix division has two notable forms:
 * `/` corresponds to the function `mrdivide()`
   * The problem `xA = B` is solved using `x = B/A`.
 * `\` corresponds to the function `mldivide()`
   * The problem `Ax = b` is solved using `x = A\b`.
   * ...or equivalently, `x = inv(A) * b`.

Note that the [[LinearAlgebra/Transposition|transposition]] operator `'` gives the [[LinearAlgebra/HermitianTranspose|Hermitian transpose]], while the transposition operator `.'` gives the ''non-conjugate'' transpose. Lastly, note that the function `transpose()` matches `.'`.
