:<math>f(\lambda) = \det(A-\lambda I)</math>
where <math>I</math> is the [[identity matrix]]. The [[root]]s of this [[polynomial]] are the [[eigenvalue]]s of the matrix.

The degree of this polynomial equals the length of the matrix's side. The number of roots therefore is not greater than this number.
