| Footage description: | Building on the results of the previous programme, that a dilation in skew directions can be represented as a matrix (...). John Mason and Norman Gowar develop a technique to demonstrate which general matrices represent a dilation in skew directions. John now demonstrates how this result can be used to calculate powers of matrices. As a practical example of the importance of this result, Norman Gowar uses it to solve a weather forecasting model, used earlier in the course work. |
