    the minute you think you got bored watching him, he will hit you with a dose of refreshing challenge. He never swamps you with theory to the point of losing touch with reality, but he uses simple examples to extrapolate theory very quickly. Amazing lecturer who mastered his material yet never got tired of presenting it to different crowds.

    As he said at 4:12 the trace is 6 and determinant is 8, so the eigenvalues 2and4 is correct. Can anyone plz tell me what and why they have such relationship?

    det of that marix = 8 which should be equal to the product of eigenvalues which is 4*2=8.....since one the eigenvalue is 2...another on should be trace(MATRIX)-2=6-2=4

    Because the Characteristic Equation of a Matrix A (2X2 ) is : P(x)= x^2 - trace(A)x + det(A)

    What if I have a symmetric matrix with repeated eigenvalues? Will the eigenvectors will always be orthogonal?

  • @nickirpdark

    No, orthogonality only happens if the eigenvalues are different. For the case of repeated eigenvalues your space is degenerate.

    The ideia here is that for symmetric matrices you can choose a suitable orthonormal basis that generates the eigenvector space., such that you can diagonalize the matrix The thing with repeated eigenvalues in symmetric matrices is that you have an eigenvector space of dimension n, where n is the multiplicity of of the eigenvalue, so it's possible for you to choose an pair eigenvectors that are not necesserally orthogonal.

    Isn't B an antisymmetric matrix? Doesn't that mean that the eigenvalues are supposed to be imaginary? But according to Professor Strang's calculation, the eigenvalues are 3 + i and 3 - i, which are not imaginary...

    It breaks my heart to say it, but this man needs to be put to sleep - he is *clearly* struggling and suffering. He absolutely is a national treasure and should forever be remembered as such, but it is time to give this man the dignified - and much overdue - outro that he so rightfully deserves and desperately needs.
