    Thanks! Am I right that you are alluding to a "diagonal matrix" whose terms are all zero ("Mostly Zero") except on the diagonal?
    • Byron constructor · 2024-03-11T05:26:47.091Z
      Yes! Have you looked at the main diagonal?

        Yep! I wouldn't have remembered "diagonal matrix" otherwise.
