2 examples not covered in class today: 
1. if T is rotation by 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then every nonzero vector v is mapped to a vector w perpendicular to v, 
   and so w is not parallel to v and so cannot be a scalar multiple of v, and so this T has no eigenvectors in R2 and no 
   eigenvalues in R;
2. if T=In, then every nonzero vector in Rn is an eigenvector and they all have associated eigenvalue = 1, and all bases 
   of Rn are eigenbases with respect to this T.
