Lezioni

Core Determinants 2×2 by ad − bc, larger by cofactor expansion, and what the number means. det [[1,2],[3,4]] Core Matrix inverse The 2×2 formula and Gauss-Jordan elimination for the rest. inverse of [[1,2],[3,4]] Advanced Eigenvalues and eigenvectors The characteristic polynomial and the directions a matrix only stretches. eigenvalues of [[2,1],[1,2]] Introductory Matrix multiplication Rows times columns, entry by entry. [[1,2],[3,4]] * [[5,6],[7,8]] Core Row reduction Gaussian elimination, rank and solving Ax = b. rref [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] Core Vector spaces, span and linear independence The axioms, spanning sets, independence, basis and dimension. rank of [[1,2],[2,4]] Core Orthogonality, projections and least squares Dot products, orthonormal bases, projection onto a subspace, fitting a line. inverse of [[2,1],[1,1]] Core Diagonalisation and matrix powers A = PDP⁻¹, computing Aⁿ, and the matrices that cannot be diagonalised. eigenvalues of [[4,1],[2,3]] Core Linear transformations and change of basis Matrices as maps, kernel and image, and the same map in different coordinates. [[0,-1],[1,0]] * [[1],[0]]

Vectors and the matrices that move them. Every operation is shown row by row, and 2×2 and 3×3 matrices are drawn in 3D so you can see what a determinant or an eigenvector actually is.

Domande che la gente chiede

What does a determinant mean geometrically?

It is the factor by which the matrix scales area (2×2) or volume (3×3), with a negative sign if orientation flips. Zero means the matrix flattens space and cannot be undone.

What is an eigenvector?

A direction the matrix does not turn: it only stretches it by the eigenvalue. Along eigenvectors a complicated matrix acts like multiplication by a number.

Why is matrix multiplication not commutative?

Because a matrix is a transformation and AB means "do B, then A". Rotating then reflecting is not the same as reflecting then rotating.
