    The goal of this section is to introduce the process of diagonalizing a square matrix by finding its eigenvectors and eigenvalues. It describes finding two linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues λ and λ', and using them to transform the original matrix A into a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues along the diagonal, showing that A is similar to a diagonal matrix.

    Section 5.2
    The goal of this section is to diagonalize a square matrix

     Remark
     THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DEFINITION FOR THE REST
    OF THE COURSE !

     Here is a description of the diagonalization method in a nutshell

    a b   x  x 
    Let A    and X   y , X    y two linearly independent eigenvectors,
    c d     
    corresponding to the eigenvalues λ, λ΄.

    a b   x   x   x   a b   x   x     x 
     c d   y     y    y  and  c d   y     y    y
                 

    These two equations maybe written as

    a b   x x    x   x   x x    0 
    c d   y  ingeneous step
      y  y   y y
     y   0  
    So we have

    a b   x x   x x    0 
    c d   y 
      y  y y  0  

    x x 
    P This matrix has an inverse because by assumption X, X΄ form a basis.
    y y

    Therefore,

     0   0 
    AP  P    P 1 AP   
     0    0  

    and the matrix A is equivalent to a diagonal.

    The diagonal matrix has the eigenvalues λ, λ΄. along the diagonal.
