Lecture Description
Linear Algebra: We verify the Spectral Theorem for the 3x3 real symmetric matrix A = [ 0 1 1 / 1 0 1 / 1 1 0 ]. That is, we show that the eigenvalues of A are real and that there exists an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors. In other words, we can put A in real diagonal form using an orthogonal matrix P. (Eigenvalues and eigenvectors for this A are found in the video "Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors.")

Course Description
This course contains 47 short video lectures by Dr. Bob on basic and advanced concepts from Linear Algebra. He walks you through basic ideas such as how to solve systems of linear equations using row echelon form, row reduction, Gaussian-Jordan elimination, and solving systems of 2 or more equations using determinants, Cramer's rule, and more.
He also looks over concepts of vector spaces such as span, linear maps, linear combinations, linear transformations, basis of a vector, null space, changes of basis, as well as finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Finally, he finishes the course covering some advanced concepts involving eigenvectors, including the diagonalization of the matrix, the power formula for a matrix, solving Fibonacci numbers using linear algebra, inner product on R^n, orthogonal transformations, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, QR-decomposition, the spectral theorem, and much more.
