In methodology, the power of a method is inversely proportional to the generality of the method, i.e.: the more specific the method, the more powerful. Methodology is the study of the methods involved in some field or endeavor, or in problem solving. ...

The logical fallacy of false dilemma, also known as fallacy of the excluded middle, false dichotomy, either/or dilemma or bifurcation, is to set up two alternative points of view as if they were the only options, when they are not. ...
One common method for finding the eigenvalues of a small matrix is by finding roots of the characteristic polynomial.
The basic idea of this method is to choose an initial vector b (either an eigenvector approximation or a random vector) and then repeatedly multiply it by the matrix, iteratively calculating Ab, A
A popular method for finding eigenvalues is the QR algorithm, which is based on the QR decomposition.
