Quick Revision Takeaways

Common Exam Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ Common Error: Subtracting I from A instead of A from I.

✓ Correct Approach: Compute I - A, where I is identity matrix.

Why: Subtracting inversely reverses signs of all diagonal and off-diagonal elements.

⚠️ Common Error: Forgetting to check the Hawkins-Simon conditions before solving.

✓ Correct Approach: State 1 - a_ii > 0 and |I - A| > 0 explicitly.

Why: NEB marking scheme allocates 1.5 marks solely to this verification.
