I need to make a code that takes takes two inputs: n and d and creates a matrix of the values of a list P.

'n' will be the number of columns and 'd' the number of rows.

In each row, I need the values of the following row to be raised to an incrementally rising power.

This is what I have so far:

# inputs
n = 5
d = 5
f = x^2

# list of size n
P = [(i, f(i)) for i in range(n)]

# matrix

C = matrix([(P[i][0]) for i in range(n)])
show(C)

Please mark the python and sage code as such, just mark it and pres Control+K. (Or hit that button with the two rows 101 and 010 in the header of the question area.

The above looks (slightly changed) like:

# define inputs
n, d, f = 5, 5, x^2

# define a list of size n
P = [ (j, f(j)) for j in range(n) ]

# define a matrix
C = ???

Please describe mathematically which is the matrix that should be defined.

Try ?matrix in the sage interpreter to see more examples.

To get some documentation on how to create custom matrices, you can do:

sage: matrix?

You will see some examples using a function taking a pair (i,j) and returning some f(i,j) to be placed in the entry [i,j] of the constructed matrix.

For example, if you want that the entry [i,j] has value i*j^2 (say), you can do:

sage: m = 4 ; n = 5
sage: matrix(QQ, m, n, lambda i, j: i*j^2)
[ 0  0  0  0  0]
[ 0  1  4  9 16]
[ 0  2  8 18 32]
[ 0  3 12 27 48]
