Eigendecomposition of a matrix Updated 2025-07-16
Every invertible matrix can be written as:where:Note therefore that this decomposition is unique up to swapping the order of eigenvectors. We could fix a canonical form by sorting eigenvectors from smallest to largest in the case of a real number.
- is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues of
- columns of are eigenvectors of
Intuitively, Note that this is just the change of basis formula, and so:
- changes basis to align to the eigenvectors
- multiplies eigenvectors simply by eigenvalues
- changes back to the original basis

Education as a system of indoctrination Updated 2025-07-16
Whenever Ciro Santilli walks in front of a school and sees the tall gates it makes him sad. Maybe 8 year olds need gates. But do we need to protect 15 year olds like that? Students should be going out to see the world, both good and evil not hiding from it! We should instead be guiding them to the world. But instead, we are locking them up in brainwashing centers.
Video "The Purpose of Education by Noam Chomsky (2012)" puts it well, education can be either be:He has spoken about that infinitely, e.g. from when he was thin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqMAlgAnlo
- a brainwashing to make people comply with The Establishment
- a way to get people genuinely interested and help them to reach their life goals

Free speech distinguishes education from indoctrination" and "I taught at Eton College before I was fired because 'The Patriarchy Paradox' caused offence.".
