#### 23.1.4 eigen

The package `eigen` contains several functions devoted to the symbolic computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Maxima loads the package automatically if one of the functions `eigenvalues` or `eigenvectors` is invoked. The package may be loaded explicitly as `load ("eigen")`.

`demo ("eigen")` displays a demonstration of the capabilities of this package. `batch ("eigen")` executes the same demonstration, but without the user prompt between successive computations.

The functions in the `eigen` package are:
`innerproduct`, `unitvector`, `columnvector`, `gramschmidt`, `eigenvalues`,
`eigenvectors`, `uniteigenvectors`, and `similaritytransform`.
