Matrix Operations Calculator (python, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this python project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Matrix Operations Calculator

Write a program that performs common matrix operations including addition, multiplication, transposition, determinant calculation, inversion, and eigenvalue decomposition on matrices loaded from files.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a matrix data file (CSV or JSON format) as a command-line argument
- Support operations selectable via --operation flag: add, subtract, multiply, transpose, determinant, inverse, eigenvalues, rank, trace, and LU decomposition
- For binary operations (add, subtract, multiply), accept a second matrix file via --matrix2 flag
- Support scalar operations: scalar multiplication via --scalar flag applied to the matrix
- Compute matrix properties: dimensions, rank, trace, is-symmetric, is-positive-definite, condition number
- Handle matrices of arbitrary size (up to practical memory limits)
- Support sparse matrix representation for large matrices with many zeros via --sparse flag
- Display results formatted as aligned matrices to console with configurable decimal precision via --precision flag (default: 4)
- Support both integer and floating-point matrix elements
- Verify results where possible: multiplying a matrix by its inverse should yield the identity matrix (within floating-point tolerance)
- Save results as JSON or CSV with --output flag (default: result_matrix.json)
- If no input is given, generate sample matrices and demonstrate each operation: add two 3x3 matrices, multiply a 3x3 by a 3x4, compute determinant and inverse of a 4x4, find eigenvalues of a symmetric 3x3, and show LU decomposition of a 4x4
- Handle errors: dimension mismatches, singular matrices (non-invertible), non-square matrices for operations requiring square input, and malformed input files

Create a complete Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output
