DynCont#12: Eigen value and eigen vector 3Blue1Brown

  • A vector will span a line passing through it. All points along the span, the line, can be reached by the vector using scalar multiplication.
  •  A matrix multiplication rotates and scales a vector
  • A matrix multiplication will only scale a Eigen vector , without changing its span direction.
  • A rotation matrix has no eigen vector. All vectors are rotated.
  • A shear matrix has one eigen vector.
  • There are matrices with one eigen value and many eigen vectors, like scaling all vectors on a plane.
  • See these 3 matrices and one normal eigen vector eigen value matrix in 2GBAB.
