eigenvalues, part: fell off the end



The matrix is of the form M=k*N, where k is a scalar.  It follows directly
from the definition of eigenvalues that the eigenvalues of M are k times
the eigenvalues of N.

And it is easy to find the eigenvalues of an arbitrary-size numerical
matrix or equivalently the roots of an arbitrary-degree polynomial.
