This lecture covers the method of diagonalizing a symmetric matrix using an orthogonal matrix. Starting with finding the characteristic polynomial, it proceeds to finding distinct roots, constructing orthogonal bases, and using Gram-Schmidt process to obtain an orthonormal basis. The lecture concludes with the transformation matrix that diagonalizes the symmetric matrix.
