Radnom Matrices - What are they, why are they important and how are they used?
Post Body
So i read this article about an aids breakthrough and it talsk about ths use of random matrix theory, which has previosuly been applied to the stock market, to study the aids virus and develop a strategy.
I know what a matrix is, i assume a random matrix is one fileld with random integers or other real numbers, and I am familar with eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
But i can;t make the conceptual connection between it all. Anyone knee deep in this stuff and comfortable describing it ?
