Gilles commented on MATH-883:
-----------------------------

As of revision 1403591, the "isSymmetric" method from "MatrixUtils" is used.

> I propose to add a method "getSquareRoot" in class "EigenDecomposition" (package "o.a.c.m.linear").
> When assuming that the matrix is symmetric and positive definite, the implementation is trivial (see ["By diagonalisation"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix]).
> I would also suggest that the ["isSymmetric" method be moved from "EigenDecomposition" to "MatrixUtils"|MATH-884].
