nilpotent

Aussprache: [nɪlˈpoʊtənt]

Wort

Kontext: „mathematics“

(adjective) a special kind of number or matrix that behaves in a certain way. When you multiply it by itself enough times, it becomes zero, like magic! This is important in math and helps us understand different ideas and problems.

Beispiel

The matrix was nilpotent, so when we multiplied it several times, we got zero.

Beispiel

The numbers they used were not nilpotent, and they didn’t turn into zero after multiple multiplications.

Beispiel

Can you show me an example of a nilpotent matrix?
