where

l1: l1 (—)
l2: l2 (—)
k: 2×2 condition (diag) (—)

Lecture brief

Historical brief

Determinants, eigenvalues, least squares and Cayley–Hamilton are the nineteenth-century matrix craft behind every coupled system. The sheets invert, project and diagonalise small n. This sheet (LIN-27 — 2×2 condition (diag)) is the form associated with 2×2 condition (diag). Working symbols: $l1$ , $l2$ $\rightarrow$ $k$ . Diagonal condition number. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

Purpose

Purpose: compute

k

from

l1

l2

in Linear algebra via

\\kappa=|\\lambda_{max}/\\lambda_{min}|

Diagonal condition number. Use it when a real linear algebra question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

l1 = 8.000\,\mathrm{—}

l2 = 0.500\,\mathrm{—}

, the governing relation

\\kappa=|\\lambda_{max}/\\lambda_{min}|

yields

k = 16.000\,\mathrm{—}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
