[Numpy-discussion] simple vector->matrix question

[Samuel John]

import numpy
# Say y is
y = numpy.array([1,2,3])
Y = numpy.vstack([y,y,y,y]) 
# Y is array([[1, 2, 3],
#          [1, 2, 3],
#          [1, 2, 3],
#          [1, 2, 3]])

x = numpy.array([[0],[2],[4],[6]]) # a column-vector of your scalars x0, x1...
Y - x

Hope this is what you meant.

cheers,
 Samuel
