The generic matrix and the Cayley–Hamilton theorem
Sometime during the first course in linear algebra we all learn the famous Cayley-Hamilton theorem which states the following: Theorem: Let be an matrix over a field , and denote by its characteristic polynomial. Then . The “easy” proof for … Continue reading
