Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
The characteristic polynomial and the directions a matrix only stretches.
An eigenvector is a direction a matrix does not rotate, only stretches by its eigenvalue. Find eigenvalues as roots of det(A − λI), then eigenvectors by solving (A − λI)v = 0. In the 3D view the eigenvectors are drawn on the transformed cube.

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.
