[seqfan] Re: nonsingular binary matrices

[Neil Sloane]

Dear Brendan, It seems to me very likely that what you say is correct, and
that A224879 refers to matrices over GF(2), while the other entry refers to
real matrices with entries  0 and 1. Could I ask you to please make the
necessary changes to those entries?


Best regards
Neil
