Assignment Nov15

The assignment covers eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and diagonalizations of matrices. It includes an online assignment on eigenvalues, eigenspaces, and characteristic polynomials. The written assignment consists of 4 problems: showing similar matrices have the same eigenvalues, matrices A and AT have the same eigenvalues but possibly different eigenvectors, eigenspaces of commuting transformations are invariant, and matrices with rows summing to 1 have 1 as an eigenvalue.
