What’s your least favorite mathematical fact or theorem?
Post Body
I find it really unsatisfying that not all square matrices can be diagonalized, and that the degree of the characteristic polynomial (ie. The size of the matrix) is not equal to the number of eigenvectors of the matrix. It would be nice if we didn’t have to worry about Jordan form when Diagonal form could suffice!
