IDEA is an IDE. You can’t “use the library with IDE”. You need to use a build system like gradle to load the library. If you need to play around with maths and do not have experience with development, you can start with [GitHub - Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter: Kotlin kernel for Jupyter/IPython](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter) and just use `%use kmath` directive to load [GitHub - SciProgCentre/kmath: Kotlin mathematics extensions library](https://github.com/mipt-npm/kmath) which have basic linear algebra at the multiplatform core and more advanced things in integrations.

Thank you for the suggest. I know Idea is a IDE and Grandle is an buld automation tool . I had needed of a library that was simple to integrated and import in Idea-Gradle ecosystem.

You can easily add any library that is available in maven repositories. For example quite extensive [commons-math](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/) or more specialized [EJML](http://ejml.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page).
