Understanding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are crucial in the field of linear algebra and have applications in various disciplines including physics, computer science, and engineering. Let's explore these concepts with our froge friend!
Where do Eigenvalues come from?
The concept of eigenvalues arises in linear transformations. If there is a non-zero vector that only gets scaled when a transformation is applied, this vector is called an eigenvector, and the amount by which it is scaled is called its eigenvalue.
