are special numbers which satisfy

Important features of their matrix

sum of eigenvalues equals the matrix trace

if there is a zero eigenvalue, then the matrix must be SINGULAR

Product of eigenvalues equals the matrix determinant

EIGENVECTORS

Comprise

are related matrices possess interesting properties such as

are special vectors associated with a matrix and its eigenvalues which satisfy

Eigenspace

which is the vector space composed of every linear combination of the eigenvector corresponding to a specific eigenvalue

if A is invertible, then its inverse matrix has the same eigenvectors with different associated eigenvalues 1/lamda

algebraic multiplicity

geometric multiplicity

the number of times a particular eigenvalue appears in the solution set of the characteristic polynomial

the dimension of the eigenvalue's corresponding eigenspace

real or complex number

which solve

the characteristic polynomial

which is
