  • In studying linear algebra, we will inevitably stumble upon the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. These sound very exotic, but they are very important not just in math, but also physics. Let's learn what they are, and how to find them!

    12:20 We could also use following determinant property:
    If matrix "A" is either a upper triangular matrix, a lower triangular matrix or a diagonal matrix,
    then its determinant is equal to product of the items from its main diagonal.
    For example:
    Case 1) "A" is upper triangular matrix:
    | 1 2 3 |
    | 0 5 6 |
    | 0 0 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9
    Case 2) "A" is lower triangular matrix:
    | 1 0 0 |
    | 4 5 0 |
    | 7 8 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9
    Case 3) "A" is diagonal matrix:
    | 1 0 0 |
    | 0 5 0 |
    | 0 0 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9

    I used these in school but never developed an intuitive understanding. Now I’m trying to understand some control theory a little better and these are really important. I was pleasantly surprised to find you made a video when I went searching for content. My combined college diff eq/lin algebra class probably cost me $2500 and now you have UA-cam professors providing better explanations and visualizations for free. Fourier and Laplace transforms sailed right over my head and now I feel like I could explain them to anyone with a high school level education.

    This is so much easier! This is the FIRST video explication i had to watch in the whole first year of uni... goes to show how overcomplicated it was. Tho for eigenvectors it could've been explained a little bit better because what we do is setting x1 to 1 and removing the first row for Lambda 1.
    Then setting x1 to 1 and removing 2nd row for Lambda 2
    And so on. Tbh i have no idea if it's ok to do it like this but this subject has drained me so much to the point i don't even care anymore

    The row echelon thing around 9 minutes is wasting time for no gain. If you don't do it, you get the same equation for x_1 and x_2, plus another one which is just a scalar multiple of the first and therefore has the same solution. Impressive that I've got this far into the series without a single criticism or suggestion! Amazing stuff, Prof D, thank you.
