How (and why) to raise e to the power of a matrix | DE6

The video tutorial explores the concept of matrix exponentiation, a mathematical operation used to solve differential equations, particularly in physics and quantum mechanics. It explains the operation's definition, its connection to Taylor series, and its applications in various fields. The tutorial uses examples like Romeo and Juliet's relationship dynamics and Schrodinger's equation to illustrate the concept. It also discusses visualizing matrix exponents through vector fields and flow, providing a geometric perspective on the operation.
