Hi,
I'm surprised by the error Maple returns when asked to find the JordanBlockMatrix or the JordanForm of a matrix whose some entries are floating points.
I don't understand why these operations are valid only with entries of the form a+I*b with a and b are algebraic numbers or with transcendent numbers such as Pi.
Is this a theoretical result or a technical limitation of Maple?
