Description
Why do we care about eigenvalues and eigenvectors? What's the big deal? For many people enrolled in entry level linear algebra courses, these concepts seem like far fetched abstractions that become pointless exercises in computation. But in reality, these fundamental ideas are vital to how we live our lives every single day. But how?
