Okay, this is a REAL stab in the dark here. But I am trying to teach myself Eigenmath. Unfortunatly I am not the most math capable person.
My main aim is to be able to write a class that takes a nxn symmetric matrix and then find its principle eigenvalue and eigenvector (although finding all n values and vectors would be a plus.)
I can work out the values and vectors for small dimention symmetric matrices but anything over 4 dimentions is way beyond what im capable of working with, thus the need for a class to work out the values and vectors of any nxn matrix.
Now I am aware there are methods to do this, (such as the Jacobi Eigenvalue Algorithm) but quite frankly they are far to wrapped in math lingo for me to understand at this moment in time. If someone who is familiar with the topic could break it down to a more programming orientated solution, this would be perfect. 
Thanks in advance
