I use maxima for calculation eigenvalues of this matrix: $$ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} $$ and I get $\frac{3\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and then $[1,1]$ for some reason.
Namely:
(%i1) matrix(
[1,1],
[1,2]
);
[ 1 1 ]
(%o1) [ ]
[ 1 2 ]
(%i2) eigenvalues(%);
sqrt(5) - 3 sqrt(5) + 3
(%o2) [[- -----------, -----------], [1, 1]]
2 2
What does the $[1,1]$ mean? I'm confused.
