Monday August 10, 2026

Here's an interactive widget, made quickly with Claude, that let's you play around with different 2x2 matrices. You can see what they do to points (as a transform, multiplying on the left) and the Singular Value Decomposition, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors (and of course determinant).
