@SemperVinco It's also (almost) Danish, though spelled egen and eigenvalue is egenværdi which is a literal translation
-
We did eigenvalues in second year linear algebra, but we never actually had any real-world applications for it, hence the course had no relevance to the 'real world'. I came across eigenvalues in a journal on personal relationships would you believe it, but I didn't actually know what they were used for.

I did all this in school once. It's a shame I never used it afterwards and couldn't do it without a textbook anymore.

Eigen is both dutch and german. It means "own" in both languages.
-
@oranjeliniaal no, eigen is german (I am from germany) It's from an german scientist
-
Eigen is a Dutch word not a German word.

Wait... So if I find out the Eigenvalue of a bridge... I can collapse it? Awesome...

@frichikendz if we have a square matrix, which is basically an array of numbers with equal numbers of rows and columns, an eigenvalue is a number that is related to that matrix. for a newb like you, showing you how to get the eigenvalues would be difficult.
an algorithm is completely different. it is basically a set of steps for taking input and producing output. for example, do you remember long division? the procedure you learned is an algorithm called the division algorithm.

Price pr calculation wice (both aqusition and powerconsumtion) new GPUs are more efficient than a PS3. I myself own a GPU wich can do 2,4 TFLOPS (= Terra Floating Point Operations Per Second. 2400 billion operations per second with decimalnumbers). If this professors work could be made into parallell code, a graphicscard costing £100 could outperform all those computers easily. By clustering high-end cards in those machines he could do a years worth of computing in a day to a week.
