1
Q

when does a sqaure matrix have an inverse?

A

if the determinant of that matrix is non zero

2
Q

how is the inverse of a matrix defined?

A

A^-1*A=I, where I is the identity matrix

3
Q

what is the transpose of a matrix?

A

matrix where rows are columns of the original

4
Q

what is a matrix if its transpose is equal to the original?

A

symmetric and sqaure

5
Q

what is an eigenvalue and eigenvector?

A

an eigenvector v and a eigenvector lambda obeys the eqn Av=lambda*v

6
Q

how do you find the eigenvalues?

A

det(A-lambda*I)=0

7
Q

properties of eigenvalues

A

eigenvalues of A inverse are the inverse of the eigenvalues of A

eigenvalues of A^2 are the square of the eigenvalues of A

eigenvalues of A and A transpose are the same, but not the same eigenvectors

8
Q

what is the trace of a matrix?

A

refers to the sum of the diagonal entries of that matrix

9
Q

how to check if eigenvalues are correct?

A

compare the sum to the trace, should be equal

10
Q

what is a vector norm??

A

a measure of the magnitude of the vector
