Matrix diagonalization is the process of transforming a given square matrix into a diagonal matrix, which is easier to work with in many mathematical computations. This process is possible if the matrix can be expressed as the product of three matrices: an invertible matrix, a diagonal matrix containing eigenvalues, and the inverse of the invertible matrix. Diagonalization simplifies tasks like raising a matrix to a power or solving systems of linear equations.
