A = UΣVᵀ
Every real matrix (square or rectangular, full-rank or singular) factors into a pair of orthogonal matrices flanking a rectangular diagonal of nonnegative singular values. The left and right singular vectors rotate the domain and codomain so that the linear map becomes a pure stretch along aligned axes; the singular values themselves are those stretches.
When the values decay rapidly the map is essentially low-dimensional, and the partial sum formed by the first k terms is the nearest rank-k matrix in every unitarily invariant norm. Beltrami obtained the square case in 1873, Jordan independently a year later.
One factorization therefore exposes geometry, numerical rank, and the most economical compressions of the data the matrix represents.

Halvorsen Attractor ✍️
Three simple equations, one parameter and the result is a three-lobed structure that never repeats, never settles and traces an infinitely complex path through three-dimensional space for all eternity. The Halvorsen attractor is chaos made visible.. It is far more orderly than chaos has any right to be.
Full explanation given below 👇
Aizawa attractor visualized in the xy-plane at d = 3.5.
Conversion to polar coordinates shows that θ̇ equals the constant d. Trajectories therefore spin at uniform rate.
The visible complexity arises only from chaotic variations of radius r and the orthogonal coordinate z. Two orbits appear in orange and blue.

Any complex waveform, sound, or shape can be perfectly reconstructed as the sum of simple rotating circles (epicycles).

The Law of Large Numbers
Source for infographic: https://t.co/ngyYakLw82
NOTE: Reversion To The Mean and the Law of Large Numbers are closely related and often confused, but they describe different statistical concepts. The law of large numbers states that a sample mean converges to the true population mean as sample size increases, while reversion to the mean states that sequential measurements of some quantity can provide a better estimate of the typical value of that measured quantity as compared to a single measurement.
