-\section TutorialBlockOperationsWhatIs What are Block operations?
-Block operations are a set of functions that provide an easy way to access a set of coefficients 
-inside a \b Matrix or \link ArrayBase Array \endlink. A typical example is accessing a single row or 
-column within a given matrix, as well as extracting a sub-matrix from the latter.
-
-Blocks are highly flexible and can be used both as \b rvalues and \b lvalues in expressions, simplifying 
-the task of writing combined expressions with Eigen.
-
-\subsection TutorialBlockOperationsFixedAndDynamicSize Block operations and compile-time optimizations
-As said earlier, a block operation is a way of accessing a group of coefficients inside a Matrix or 
-Array object. Eigen considers two different cases in order to provide compile-time optimization for 
-block operations, depending on whether the the size of the block to be accessed is known at compile time or not. 
-
-To deal with these two situations, for each type of block operation Eigen provides a default version that
-is able to work with run-time dependant block sizes and another one for block operations whose block size is
-known at compile-time.
-
-Even though both functions can be applied to fixed-size objects, it is advisable to use special block operations
-in this case, allowing Eigen to perform more optimizations at compile-time.
-
 \section TutorialBlockOperationsUsing Using block operations
-Block operations are implemented such that they are easy to use and combine with operators and other 
-matrices or arrays.
 
 The most general block operation in Eigen is called \link DenseBase::block() .block() \endlink.
