REVIEW OF MATHEMATICS
Given Dot product: is the angle between the two vectors. Example: Magnitude of vector: Example: Review of Vectors Analysis
Review of Vectors Analysis Vectors and are said to be perpendicular or orthogonal if Example: Note that the above vectors represent the unit vectors for the X-axis and Y-axis. They are definitely perpendicular or orthogonal.
Cross product: • is the angle between the two vectors. Example: Review of Vectors Analysis
Example: Review of Vectors Analysis The cross product of and provides us with a vector which is perpendicular to both and Note that the above vectors represent the unit vectors for the X-axis and Y-axis respectively. Their cross product is the unit vector for the Z-axis, which is definitely perpendicular to both the X-axis and the Y-axis.
Review of Vectors Analysis Note that the unit vectors for the right handed Cartesian reference frame are orthonormal basis vectors, i.e.
Vector triple product: Review of Vectors Analysis Example:

Example: Review of Vectors Analysis Given where A is a matrix of dimension comparable to the vector being multiplied
Let A be an nn matrix. If there exists a and a nonzero n1 vector such that then is called an eigenvalue of A and is called an eigenvector of A corresponding to the eigenvalue Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Let In be a nn identity matrix. The eigenvalues of nn matrix A can be obtained from: A nn matrix A has at least one and at most “n” distinct eigenvalues
Solution: Example 1: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Find the eigenvalues of
at =1? What is the eigenvector of Example 2: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Example 2: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Multiply 3rd eqn by -5 and add it to 1st eqn to eliminate
Divide 2nd eqn by and simplify using the known result: Example 2: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Example 2: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Story so far: We can obtain a normalized eigenvector using:
