This blog will explore the concept of eigen-decomposition, its applications in different domains, and its significance in modern computational techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, eigen-decomposition refers to the process of decomposing a square matrix into its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This decomposition is essential for understanding the properties of linear transformations and solving systems of linear equations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eigen-decomposition has numerous applications across various fields, enabling practitioners to analyse and interpret data more effectively.
