Covariance matrices, the noise floor of PCA, and eigenvalues that fill a disc
Random Matrices · Lesson
Eigenvalues refuse to sit close together, and random points have no such manners
Graph Theory · Lesson
Eigenvalues, the Laplacian, and spectral clustering

The largest eigenvalue has its own universal law, and it is not a bell curve
Random Matrices · Lesson
Fill a matrix with noise and its eigenvalues arrange themselves into a semicircle
Loop Quantum Gravity · Lesson
… face of the volume operator from the previous lesson: the operator's large-spin eigenvalues track the volume of the polyhedron whose faces carry the corresponding areas, even though the operator itself is a matrix on the intertwiner space rather than a formula in the areas.
Loop Quantum Gravity · Lesson
