gollark: What are they eigenvectors *of*, exactly?

gollark: eigen is "own" or something, and apparently people prefer that over "characteristic vector/value".

gollark: Yes, the term comes from that for mysterious reasons.

gollark: (x is called an "eigenvector", and it might be nicer to think of the eigenvector as a vector which the matrix scales up by that eigenvalue, instead of transforming it in some other way)

gollark: Too bad.
