Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues | Essence of Linear Algebra, Chapter 10

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Find vectors that stay on their spans after a linear transformation. The 14th video in the series of 15 introduces the concept of eigenvectors, vectors that are only scaled during a linear transformation. The presentation illustrates the geometric interpretation of these special vectors and provides a general explanation on how to determine them.
