Thanks for explaining "eigen" things with what has to be the *clearest* and *fewest* words possible in both this and the next video about diagonalizing. I say that after watching a dozen other videos on this topic, including some with elaborate moving graphics and animated icons. Most needlessly confuse exposition of concepts for exposition of methods, which you have skillfully avoided. Thanks again.
This is the clearest explanation of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors that I've seen. Showing the transformations on the graphs ties it all together. Thank you!
The best video I got to watch so far. Thank you so much! I was able to reapply your teachings to many different matrices and got the eigen values and vectors right. God bless you.
I don't know a thing about eigenvalues and eigenvectors and i am trying to learn and this is the best and easiest video i could find on this subject. I am glad it only had 1 example so i can re-watch this video as many times as i need to without feeling overwhelmed or confused or frustrated👍👍
Your videos are by far the best to explain Maths procedures ! No matter how many steps are involved, your explanation is clear and concise. (Level 2 OU student here!) Thank you ♥️
Thank you so much for all the effort & time you put into explaining all of this so clearly. Gonna learn a lot from your other videos as well. THANK YOU!
I'm going through this and I can't be more confused. I managed to do the eigenvectors but all sources anywhere shows that you can basically place the ratio in any way, shape and form possible as long as the numbers are correct, even my textbook and an online vector calculator contradicts each other where for x=-y, you get [1:-1] from the book with [x:y] = [x:-x] = [1:-1] as it's logic, and [-1:1] from the calculator with [x:y] = [-y:y] = [-1:1]. And that's where I'm completely stuck as later parts that concerns differentials will produce drastically different answers if the modal matrix is different, which the modal matrix largely depends on how you present the eigenvectors which you can present it however way you like to. Would you mind to explain how is this possible and how can I use the right P matrix for further work? and how do you decide that lamda1 is -1 and lamda2 is 8, since the quadratic equation does not produce numbers in specific orders.
It doesn't matter which way round you choose lamda1 & lamda2, but this will affect the P. Have you seen the other relevant videos in ua-cam.com/play/PLgQUIweMg9eJP1QeCotIspOmwGUd8jibS.html ?
+calc hacks There are an infinite number of eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. To check if your solution works, just multiply it by the matrix and the eigenvalue - if they give the same answer, you know you have a correct eigenvector.
The important point is the relationship between x and y. You can choose ANY value for x, but then the y value is double the x value. x=1 is one of the simplest values to choose, but you could choose another value....what would y be if you choose to take x = 5?
I show AN eigenvector. Any multiple works too...your values are -1 times mine, so this works too. Note that you can check your eigenvector as I did with mine.
You are looking for two integers that multiply to 15 and have a difference of 2. See ua-cam.com/video/sMj1GAc3hAU/v-deo.html for examples of factorising quadratics.
Many thanks. Your video is very helpful. Is there a formula for finding the characteristic equation of a 3x3 matrix and possibly a 4x4 matrix like the one we have for a 2x2 matrix? kindly help me with it if it exist.
hi amazing vid quick question does it matter which lambda is which as I made my lambda 1 (8) and my lambda 2 (-1). because this does affect the eigenvector matrix u where you combine the left and right side.
Thank you, this was clearing up everything I didn't understand about Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors... I have gone through lots of material trying to figure out what is was about and finally managed to understand this now ... thanks again.
Hi Jay, I've been applying the methodology to the rotation matrix: (0 - 1)(x) =(0) (1 0)(y) (0) Has eigenvalues, è =+/- 1. I can't seem to get sensible values for the eigenvector when è=1: -1x - 1y =0 1x - 1y =0 or when è=-1: 1x - 1y =0 1x +1y =0 ... Basically x=y and x=-y Can you help?! 😬 Peter
@@MathsWithJay you're right the eigen values are +/-i. Does this mean that there cannot be any real eigenvalues in the 2D this 2D system . I wonder what would happen in the case of the rotation matrix in 3D with rotation purely about the z axis.
Should I be assuming the value of x as only 1 or can it be any value? I have an equation y+2z=0, and I rearranged it to y=-2z and assumed y as 1, the eigenvector came out as (1,-0.5). It does not match the solution in the book I am following. The solution is (2,-1)

Write down matrix A, then (5, 4) as a column vector, then multiply the matrix by the vector. The answer will be a column vector...you can then write this as the coordinates of a point. What point do you get?

very good video but I had to replay the video many times because there weren't any subtitles, and it's quite hard to catch up with your British accent, can you please add subtitles ? 🙏
Well Done, you started with (A -lamda I)x =0 and unknown lambda & x . Most start with knowning either lambda or x. For example Introduction to Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors - Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/G4N8vJpf7hM/v-deo.html
Why is it always the simplest ones lmao, why are these same equations when you put a specifi eigen value, if you are that lazy to do with different ones, do not do it at all.

At 12:30 can the eigen vector be (-1,1) since x +y = 0 is the same as x= -y?
Yes...there are an infinite number of eigenvectors that satisfy x + y = 0
Hi, why do you need to use the identity matrix in order to take the x outside the brackets?
@Leo: So that each term in the equation is a matrix
On 9:40 can the answer also be [1/2 1]? [6 -3 0 0] / 6 => [1 -1/2 0 0] => x1 = 1/2 x2 , let x2 be 1 and x1 will equal 1/2?
+calc hacks There are an infinite number of eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. To check if your solution works, just multiply it by the matrix and the eigenvalue - if they give the same answer, you know you have a correct eigenvector.
in 9:33 why the eigenvector is 1 and 2? i dont understand.. can u explain more, please? anyway thankyou for sharing this video

i understand, no need explanation, thx
If the characteristic eq have complex roots then who we can find the eigenvectors
on 14.03, y=-x, therefore the eigenvector is [1 -1]. May I know if the eigenvector could be [-1 1] also coz I put x=-y?
I show AN eigenvector. Any multiple works too...your values are -1 times mine, so this works too. Note that you can check your eigenvector as I did with mine.
