In this segment we will talk about what does
the word eigenvalue itself mean eigenvalue
comes from the word Eigenwert it is a general
word and this Eigen stands for characteristic
and then this one the word wert here stands
for value so that s where the origin of the
word eigenvalue comes from characteristic
value it will make sense later when you when
we talk about eigenvalues how we find eigenvalues
what we are do is finding something called
the characteristic polynomial of which we
have to find the zeros of or take the take
the characteristic polynomial put it equal
to zero and of that equation we have to find
the roots so that s what the word eigenvalue
comes from and that s the end of this segment
