Alleluia!

One and half decades after I first learned about Eigen Vectors in the 1st semester of Engineering College, I finally, FINALLY understood its application, thanks to this brilliant presentation on Analytical Hierarchy Process. Dr.Haas and Dr. Meixner, if only I had had you to explain this while we were studying "Caxstic Equations" (as our teacher, Mr. Thirumurugan of Anna University, used to pronounce them... it's supposed to be "Characteristic Equations", though characteristic of what, he never explained. But we calculated millions of Eigen Values and Eigen Vectors without having a clue what they were).
