You should select one or two central topics discussed during the semester and write about how the topic(s) is relevant to you and your life. For example, for the chapter on prejudice, you might write about a time you directly or indirectly experienced some form of prejudice. Alternatively, you could analyze a television commercial with an eye toward the material covering the use of persuasion to increase compliance. Remember, this assignment is intended to help you recognize how the material covered in class is personally relevant, as well as to encourage you to think critically about the concepts presented instead of passively accepting them as truths. Thus it is acceptable (and commendable) to include in your paper a discussion of the reasons why you agree/disagree with what the author is saying.
To reiterate, each paper must have the following two components: a review (including proper citation) of the concept from the text to be discussed; and second, your thoughts/feelings on this topic and a discussion of how it applies to your life including whether you agree/disagree with what the author has said.

Title: Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, Symmetric Eigen Decomposition, and SVD in Linear Algebra and Control Systems
1. (Slide 2) find eigen values and eigen vectors for the first given matrix.
2. (Slide 2) Find eigen values and eigen vectors for the second given matrix.
3. (Slide 3) Examine manually and using Matllab the symmetric eigen decomposition, if any, for each of the matrices of (slide 2.) Are they diagonalizable? Explain your results in detail. 4. (Slide 3) Examine manually and using Matllab the symmetric eigen decomposition, if any, for each of the matrices of (slide 2.) How about the eigenspace for each case? Explain your results.
5. (Slide 4) Using given matrix for SVD on slide 4, Show all the steps of the SVD of the matrix A manually and using Matlab. Typically, the singular values arranged in decreasing order.
6. (Slide 5) Find manually and repeat using Matlab the matrix P such that E.S. x=0 is asymptotically stable for systems shown on slide 2. Assume Q=I. Explain the difficulties you confronted in finding P and how that might affect the stability.
7. Repeat for system of L(slide 4) but only using Matlab. Interpret your results and reason behind their differences. How these results differ from those of the above bullet?
8. Use (slide 6) as a guiding example.
