Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are fundamental concepts in linear algebra that have numerous applications in physics, engineering, and computer science. The eigenvalues represent the scaling factors by which the corresponding eigenvectors are stretched or compressed when the matrix transformation is applied.
Understanding these values helps in solving systems of differential equations, analyzing stability in dynamical systems, and performing principal component analysis in data science. The calculator above provides both numerical results and visual representations to help you grasp these important mathematical concepts.
