This video explains eigenvalues and eigenvectors in a fresh, intuitive way, focusing on meaning and visualization rather than ...

This article presents a from-scratch C# implementation of the second technique: using SVD to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors from the standardized source data. If you're not familiar with PCA, ...

The Monthly publishes articles, as well as notes and other features, about mathematics and the profession. Its readers span a broad spectrum of mathematical interests, and include professional ...

We study the asymptotic distributions of the spiked eigenvalues and the largest nonspiked eigenvalue of the sample covariance matrix under a general covariance model with divergent spiked eigenvalues, ...

Correction: The original version of this article incorrectly stated that eigenvalues are the magnitudes of eigenvectors. In fact, eigenvalues are scalars that are multiplied with eigenvectors. This ...

Usually the way things work is that mathematicians make math discoveries, and physicists borrow and adapt those ideas to explain the universe. But three physicists at the University of Chicago and two ...
