*This class contains:
*
*- methods to solve Ly = b and Ux = y
*where L is a full rank lower triangular matrix and
*U is a full rank upper triangular matrix.
*
- methods to invert upper and lower
*triangular full rank matrices.
*
*
*
*This class was written by a statistician rather than
*a numerical analyst. When public domain Java
*numerical analysis routines become available from
*numerical analysts (e.g., the people who produce
*LAPACK), then the code produced by the numerical
*analysts should be used.
