Eigendecomposition

I had learned about diagonalization/decomposition using eigenvectors and eigenvalues in The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra. Now reading more about it in the appendix of D2L, I felt ready to write my notes about them, and after doing a little more research that’s what I did, and I feel I’ve got a strong grasp on the subject.

Jacobian

With the little free time I still had in this (once again) busy day, I wrote my notes on the Jacobian, a generalization of the gradient to functions with vector inputs and outputs.
