Jordan Normal Form 2 | An Example [dark version]
A 4×4 matrix is worked through to find its Jordan normal form, with the key takeaway that eigenvalues and their multiplicities narrow the structure...
Linear Algebra 50 | Gaussian Elimination for Determinants
Gaussian elimination provides a faster, more systematic route to determinants than Laplace (cofactor) expansion—especially for large matrices—by...
Linear Algebra 39 | Gaussian Elimination
Gaussian elimination turns a system of linear equations into a simpler, nearly solved form by using row operations to create zeros below a leading...
Linear Algebra 40 | Row Echelon Form
Row echelon form turns a messy matrix into a structured one where the “action” happens only at a few key entries called pivots—making it possible to...
LU Decomposition - An Example Calculation [dark version]
LU decomposition rewrites a square matrix A as the product of a lower triangular matrix L and an upper triangular matrix U, and the method is...
Linear Algebra 37 | Row Operations
Row operations are the reversible matrix moves that make Gaussian elimination possible without losing any information about solutions. Starting from...
Linear Algebra 44 | Determinant in 2 Dimensions
A 2×2 determinant is introduced as the single number that decides whether a linear system has a unique solution—and it also turns out to be the...
PLU decomposition - An Example [dark version]
PLU decomposition extends LU decomposition to cases where the first nonzero pivot in a column appears after some zeros. Instead of failing when a...
Linear Algebra 38 | Set of Solutions
For a linear system written as A x = B, the solution set is either empty or it forms an affine (shifted) subspace: once one solution exists, every...
Abstract Linear Algebra 9 | Example for Change of Basis
Change-of-basis matrices let the same vector in an abstract vector space be represented in different bases, and the key practical takeaway is how to...
Abstract Linear Algebra 29 | Rank gives Equivalence
Equivalent matrices—those related by changes of bases in the domain and codomain—can represent the same linear map even though their entries differ....
Linear Algebra 38 | Set of Solutions [dark version]
For a linear system written as Ax = B, the solution set is either empty or forms an affine (shifted) subspace: once at least one solution exists,...
