An integral matrix is a matrix whose entries are all integers. An important normalized form for integral matrices is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_normal_form|Hermite normal form]], and by using Hermite normal form we may define normalized forms of lists of [[Harmonic Limit|p-limit]] musical intervals (or [[Monzos and Interval Space|monzos]]) or lists of [[Vals and Tuning Space|vals]], the normal interval (or monzo) list and the normal val list. | An integral matrix is a matrix whose entries are all integers.

There are slightly different definitions of Hermite normal form in use, and if you are using a computer program to compute it, you should take care that the same normal monzo or val list is finally achieved. The definition used by the Wikipedia article on Hermite form, probably the most standard, works as follows.<br /> | There are slightly different definitions of Hermite normal form in use, and if you are using a computer program to compute it, you should take care that the same normal monzo or val list is finally achieved.
