3x3 Diagonalizable Matrices over GF(2)

[HallsofIvy]

They need not be invertible.



I'm confused about this, first you say the main diagonal can only have non-zero entries, but then you say the main diagonal can have 0's or 1's. Also, diagonalizable is not the same as diagonal, right?

IlikeSerena made a slight grammatical error.

He/she said "the main diagonal can only have non-zero entries". What he/she meant to say was "only the main diagonal can have non-zero entries". The position of the word "only" is crucial!
