Practical use of matrices in engineering

- [Instructor] In this video, we are going to work with one example that will show you a practical use of eigenvalues engineering. The code is very long, so I have provided the file with the code for you to open and follow along. You can find it in the exercise files at the location shown below. As we go along, I will be pasting parts of the code for the sake of time. In this example, I'm using eigenvalues and the damping factor to observe if an RLC circuit resistance, inductive, and capacitive circuit is under-damped, critically-damped, or over-damped. So, let me open a new live script, and first define the R, L, and C values. So, we have part of the code here where we have defined resistance as 4 Ohms, inductance as 1 Henry, and Capacitance as 0.5 Farad. Now, let's do a section break here, and let's calculate the damping factor first. So, I'm going to put the code that will calculate the damping factor and also display it when we run the code. Now, we are going to go over another…
