  • In studying linear algebra, we will inevitably stumble upon the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. These sound very exotic, but they are very important not just in math, but also physics. Let's learn what they are, and how to find them!

    12:20 We could also use following determinant property:
    If matrix "A" is either a upper triangular matrix, a lower triangular matrix or a diagonal matrix,
    then its determinant is equal to product of the items from its main diagonal.
    For example:
    Case 1) "A" is upper triangular matrix:
    | 1 2 3 |
    | 0 5 6 |
    | 0 0 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9
    Case 2) "A" is lower triangular matrix:
    | 1 0 0 |
    | 4 5 0 |
    | 7 8 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9
    Case 3) "A" is diagonal matrix:
    | 1 0 0 |
    | 0 5 0 |
    | 0 0 9 |
    Then det(A) = 1 * 5 * 9
    Source:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant#Properties_of_the_determinant
    See rule number "7.".

    Now I know that, thanks a lot :)
    2) 07:53 - 08:24 and 10:12, 11:14 - This is also a very useful knowledge.
    You not only learn HOW TO CALCULATE, but also EXPLAIN WHY it is calculated exactly that way.

    I used these in school but never developed an intuitive understanding. Now I’m trying to understand some control theory a little better and these are really important. I was pleasantly surprised to find you made a video when I went searching for content. My combined college diff eq/lin algebra class probably cost me $2500 and now you have RUclips professors providing better explanations and visualizations for free. Fourier and Laplace transforms sailed right over my head and now I feel like I could explain them to anyone with a high school level education.

    At 12:19, you can simply skip using Sarrus' rule for the 3x3 matrix. Since it has all 0s on one side of the diagonal, you can simply directly multiply the elements along the diagonal to get the determinant. This applies regardless of whether the 0s are on the top right or bottom left. You could also perform row operations until the matrix becomes triangular, then multiply along the diagonal to get the determinant.
