Hmm, I thought characteristic polynomial only have roots in the algebraic closure of the original field. So, the solution might not necessarily lie in the original field. Is this correct?
Well I'll be jiggered! @ 10:31 hmmm... eigenvectors and eigenvalues Interesting! Plus on Michael Penn's channel there was an observation along lines of: if something, say wlog X a poly'l eqn, has a solution in m-space for m
But what intellectual prowess! After a few minuts, I can't follow the demo anymore. An then I just see colors, shapes and patterns and a kind of a beautiful music for my frenchy ears ...
