The power method is an iterative algorithm used to approximate the dominant eigenvalue and corresponding eigenvector of a matrix. This technique is especially useful for large matrices where calculating eigenvalues directly can be computationally expensive. By repeatedly multiplying a vector by the matrix, the method capitalizes on the properties of eigenvectors to converge towards the eigenvector associated with the largest eigenvalue.
