Matrix Exponentials and Eigenvalues

The video tutorial by Tom covers the concept of exponential matrices, using two examples to illustrate the process. The first example involves a simple matrix, while the second deals with repeated eigenvalues. Tom explains the calculations step-by-step, demonstrating how to find the exponential matrix and solve related equations. The tutorial concludes with a detailed breakdown of the calculations and their implications.
