In [[linear algebra]], when a transformation of a space is carried out, some vectors (points in the space) are not rotated, but only extended or shrunk (moved farther or closer to the origin). The vectors are called the '''eigenvectors''' of the transformation, and the amount of extension or shrinkage carried out on that eigenvector is called the '''eigenvalue''' of the transformation corresponding to the given eigenvector.
