Description

The theorem that guarantees the congruent diagonalization of a symmetric real matrix is presented, and this process of diagonalization is described from an operational point of view It is also explained how to use this process to determine if a symmetric real matrix is positive definite, negative definite, positive semidefinite, negative semidefinite, or indefinite. With examples (editable pptx).
