The deepening of knowledge into the mathematical world of matrix theory is beyond my comprehension. It might explain why my book 'De Vier Landen. Een topografie van het vierdelingsdenken' (in Dutch; Marten Kuilman, 1992/1997) proved to be a dead end (for me).
The first ninety pages (Chapter 4. De vierdeling en de quadralektiek) dealt with a straightforward treatment of the theory of a 'transversal ' (linear) four-fold/quadralectic shift. A 'longitudinal' (matrix) approach is introduced at p. 95.
This description is charming by its innocence (see the Wikipedia-stub in Eigenvalues below). The method of valuation in the subdivisions might, nevertheless, have some merit. If only for its originality. The 'Vier Landen (Four Countries) - Kekrop, Euhemeros, Steratotopion and Strobylos) and their 'topographies' are still near to my heart - but they did not lead to a further development of quadralectic thinking in general.
In hindsight (2021), there is a kind of similarity with Werner Heisenberg's trip to Helgoland. He also got lost in the idea that the matrix could offer a solution to a comprehension of the invisible. But the spectacular views of unknown territories did not fulfill their promise.

Signs to roads I will never able to travel:
Eigenvalues are often introduced in the context of linear algebra or matrix theory. Historically, however, they arose in the study of quadratic forms and differential equations.
In the 18th century, Leonhard Euler studied the rotational motion of a rigid body, and discovered the importance of the principal axes. Joseph-Louis Lagrange realized that the principal axes are the eigenvectors of the inertia matrix.
In the early 19th century, Augustin-Louis Cauchy saw how their work could be used to classify the quadric surfaces, and generalized it to arbitrary dimensions. Cauchy also coined the term racine caractéristique (characteristic root), for what is now called eigenvalue; his term survives in characteristic equation.
Later, Joseph Fourier used the work of Lagrange and Pierre-Simon Laplace to solve the heat equation by separation of variables in his famous 1822 book 'Théorie analytique de la chaleur'. Charles-François Sturm developed Fourier's ideas further, and brought them to the attention of Cauchy, who combined them with his own ideas and arrived at the fact that real symmetric matrices have real eigenvalues. This was extended by Charles Hermite in 1855 to what are now called Hermitian matrices.
Around the same time, Francesco Brioschi proved that the eigenvalues of orthogonal matrices lie on the unit circle, and Alfred Clebsch found the corresponding result for skew-symmetric matrices. Finally, Karl Weierstrass clarified an important aspect in the stability theory started by Laplace, by realizing that defective matrices can cause instability.
In the meantime, Joseph Liouville studied eigenvalue problems similar to those of Sturm; the discipline that grew out of their work is now called Sturm–Liouville theory. Schwarz studied the first eigenvalue of Laplace's equation on general domains towards the end of the 19th century, while Poincaré studied Poisson's equation a few years later.
At the start of the 20th century, David Hilbert studied the eigenvalues of integral operators by viewing the operators as infinite matrices. He was the first to use the German word eigen, which means "own", to denote eigenvalues and eigenvectors in 1904, though he may have been following a related usage by Hermann von Helmholtz. For some time, the standard term in English was "proper value", but the more distinctive term "eigenvalue" is the standard today.
The first numerical algorithm for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors appeared in 1929, when Richard von Mises published the power method. One of the most popular methods today, the QR algorithm, was proposed independently by John G. F. Francis and Vera Kublanovskaya in 1961 (Wikipedia).

Goddess Saraswati is the goddess of learning, wisdom, knowledge, fine arts, refinement, science and technology at Hinduism.Every Year a prayer (worship, honour) is performed to satisfy her called Saraswati Puja. Many youth clubs, boys clubs and student orgnisations in Bangladesh arranges Saraswati Puza by themselves. This photo was taken at a Saraswati puja organised by a boyes club at Shakharibazar, Dhaka. The boys were so much dedicated to achieve the blessings of knowledge from goddess Sarasswati as the photo tells.
