We want to see what influence the multiplication of the given matrix has on the vectors.In the first case, we get a totally new vector with a different direction and different lengthwhen compared to the original vector. This is what usually happens and is of no interesthere. In the second case something interesting happens. The multiplication produces avector which means the new vector has the same direction asthe original vector. The scale constant, which we denote by is 10. The problem ofsystematically finding such ’s and nonzero vectors for a given square matrix will be thetheme of this chapter. It is called the matrix eigenvalue problem or, more commonly, theeigenvalue problem.

We formalize our observation. Let be a given nonzero square matrix ofdimension Consider the following vector equation:
