Linear Algebra II Videos

Here is my series of videos that I produced with the New Media Center of the University Basel for the Linear Algebra II course in spring semester 2017.

This mindmap gives a short overview how the videos are related:

001 Eigenvectors

We will define eigenvalues, eigenvectors and the eigenspace. We will learn the link between the characteristic polynomial and the eigenvalues.

002 Diagonalizing a 2×2 matrix

We will diagonalize a 2×2 matrix by computing the eigenvectors.

You can find the screenshot here.


003 Diagonalizing a 3×3 matrix

We will diagonalize a 3×3 matrix by computing the eigenvectors.

You can find the screenshot here.


004 Application of Diagonalizing

We will find an iterative formula for a recursive law by using matrix diagonalization.

005 Algebraic and geometric multiplicities

We will define algebraic and geometric multiplicities, see how they are related and define the generalized eigenspaces.

006 Jordan normal form

We will define the Jordan normal form and describe an algorithm to find the corresponding base change matrix.

007 Example of a Jordan normal form

We will compute the Jordan normal form and the base change matrix for a matrix with one eigenvalue and one Jordan block.

008 Example of a Jordan normal form

We will compute the Jordan normal form and the base change matrix for a matrix with one eigenvalue and two Jordan blocks.

009 Example of a Jordan normal form

We will compute the Jordan normal form and the base change matrix for a matrix with two eigenvalue and two Jordan blocks.
