Define eigen value and eigen vector. Explain how shooting method is used to solve boundary value problem. [5]

--- Definition: Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ square matrix. A scalar $\lambda$ is called an eigenvalue of $A$ if there exists a non-zero vector $\mathbf{x}$ such that: $A\mathbf{x} = \lambda \mathbf{x}$ The non-zero vector $\mathbf{x}$ satisfying this equation is called the eigenvector correspond...
