Discussing the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors and their significance.
- Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are factors of a matrix where certain vectors, when multiplied by the matrix, do not change direction, only scale.
- For symmetric matrices, eigenvectors corresponding to different eigenvalues are orthogonal to each other.
- The eigenvalue decomposition of a symmetric matrix is expressed as a product of its eigenvector matrix, diagonal eigenvalue matrix, and the inverse of the eigenvector matrix.
