Gilles reopened MATH-195:
-------------------------

      Assignee: Gilles  (was: Brent Worden)

Focusing on the "Error handling" part of issue [MATH-361|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-361], I propose to take the summary of viewpoints (on the usage of checked vs unchecked exceptions) provided in this [article|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp05254.html], as a starting point for the discussion.

>                 Key: MATH-195
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-195
>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, Nightly Builds
>            Reporter: Thomas Chust
>            Assignee: Gilles
>            Priority: Minor

>   Original Estimate: 0.17h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0.17h

> I think there are some inconsistencies in the hierarchy of exceptions used by the Commons Math library which could easily be fixed:
>   - org.apache.commons.math.linear.MatrixIndexException should really be a subclass of
>     java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException.
>   - Either org.apache.commons.math.linear.InvalidMatrixException should be checked or
>     org.apache.commons.math.random.NotPositiveDefiniteMatrixException and
>     org.apache.commons.math.geometry.NotARotationMatrixException should be unchecked, but in any case the latter two
>     should be subclasses of the former. An unchecked InvalidMatrixException should probably be a subclass of
>     java.lang.ArithmeticException while a checked InvalidMatrixException should be a subclass of
>     org.apache.commons.math.MathException.
