Calculus Revisited: Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra (Res.18-008, MIT OCW): Part III - Linear Algebra: Lecture 6

Calculus Revisited: Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra

Calculus Revisited: Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra (Res.18-008, MIT OCW). This consists of 20 video lectures given by Professor Herbert Gross, providing an introduction to Complex Variables, Ordinary Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. Calculus Revisited is a series of videos and related resources that covers the materials normally found in freshman- and sophomore-level introductory mathematics courses. Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra is the third course in the series, consisting of 20 Videos, 3 Study Guides, and a set of Supplementary Notes. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Part III, Lecture 6 - Eigenvectors

Herb Gross defines an eigenvector of a linear map ƒ as a vector x that is mapped into a constant multiple, c, of itself. The value of c is called the eigenvalue (or characteristic) for the corresponding vector x.
