    Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which however, were not discovered by the well known mathematician Eigen. Ansatz ist also commonly used in research articles.

      It’s funny how both the German and English stems from the whole word.

      But surely eigenspaces were discovered by Dr. Eigen. Right?

          Who discovered the binomial distribution? Of course. Although they are probably not as famous as Prof. Normal who came up with the Normal distribution. No, wait…
