Eli5: what are eigen values and eigen vectors and how is it useful.
In: 55
Okay, imagine you have a magic mirror. When you look at yourself in that mirror, you see something special. An eigenvalue is like a special number, and an eigenvector is like a special direction in that mirror.
The magic part is that when you change into different clothes, the special number (eigenvalue) stays the same, and the special direction (eigenvector) still points in the same way.
Now, why is this useful? It’s like having a favorite toy, and you want to understand how it works. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors help scientists and smart grown-ups understand and solve big problems, like making cool things in computers and science. They’re like the magic tools to understand and solve special problems.
