    Hmm this is quite funky... \det(A-\lambda I) yields -\lambda^3, the same as if I were to output it with the charPoly() function. However, when I type in \det(\lambda I -A), it spits out \lambda^3 Even after clearing out any stored variables/history and resetting it, nothing changes. Wonder...

I'm an ex-math major and while I'm no longer pursuing a degree anymore in mathematics, I still continue onwards in my spare time trying to learn as much as I can about it because it's always been something I've enjoyed partaking in and...
