How to calculate the singular values of a matrix

In this video you will learn how to calculate the singular values of a matrix by finding the eigenvalues of A transpose A. We will also do a worked example to show you how it is done.

Thanks for this video. Very crisp and easy to understand !

You should have calculated the eigenvalues of AAT which is a 2x2 matrix, as opposed to ATA which is 3x3. They are the same, and it would have been a bit easier.

Best video I found on singular value calculation.

Nice. You keep filling in the small ideas for each step. Really helps beginners.

hpw tf this can help us? you just found sigmas not V not U?

What if eigen value comes negative.. . As the square root of negative value is complex

[wayneosaur]

You should mention the the eigenvalues are real and non-negative since the matrix A^T A is symmetric as well as square. Otherwise the method would not work in general.

what is the difference between Singlevalue decomposition and your method ?

[ulissemini]

What about the negative square root? why must the singular values be positive?
