entries(NCMatrix) -- Returns the entries of the NCMatrix

Synopsis

Description

Returns the entries of the NCMatrix as a doubly nested list.

i1 : A = QQ{a,b,c,d}

o1 = A

o1 : NCPolynomialRing
i2 : M = ncMatrix {{a,b,c,d},{b,c,d,a}}

o2 = | a b c d |
     | b c d a |

o2 : NCMatrix
i3 : N = M || 2*M || -3*M

o3 = | a    b    c    d    |
     | b    c    d    a    |
     | 2*a  2*b  2*c  2*d  |
     | 2*b  2*c  2*d  2*a  |
     | -3*a -3*b -3*c -3*d |
     | -3*b -3*c -3*d -3*a |

o3 : NCMatrix
i4 : entries N

o4 = {{a, b, c, d}, {b, c, d, a}, {2a, 2b, 2c, 2d}, {2b, 2c, 2d, 2a}, {-3a,
