Matrix multiplication resulting in different values in MATLAB and NUMPY(?) [duplicate]

Answer 1

Numpy documentation states that the operator you apply performs element-wise multiplication.

However, mtimes in MATLAB does matrix multiplication.

To verify, MATLAB syntax for element-wise multiplication produces the same result you see in numpy:

disp(x.'.*x)

     4    56    20    54     4
    56     9     7    42    80
    20     7     9   100     2
    54    42   100     1    40
     4    80     2    40    81
