Thank you :)
That's great.😍😍... appreciable.

Determinant and Trace of the nilpotent matrix is zero.

But if determinant=0 or trace=0, what can we say about nilpotency of matrix?

But if determinant=0 or trace=0, what can we say about nilpotency of matrix?

We can say that it is nilpotent matrix but, we need to calculate the index.

1) If a matrix is nilpotent then determinant and trace of that matrix are zero -- correct statement

2) If determinant and trace of a matrix are zero then that matrix is nilpotent -- incorrect statement

Counter-example : $\begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &-1 \\ 0 &1 &1 \\ 5 &3 &-2 \end{bmatrix}$
How can we prove that the trace of nilpotent matricx is zero?
trace is nothing but sum of leading diagonal elements.

Do you have all standard book questions, in pdf format?

i don't have  , if you have upload it
i also don't have any pdf, actually, I added the questions in GO.

Yes Sir, It will be very helpful if we get Standard books questions (Important ones) in pdf format

Great work sir

Do you have such notes for Discrete Maths or any other topic?

Or anyone else have such quick notes for DM and other subject?

Collecting all of them at one place would be really handy and useful at the same time.

No brother, I don't have.

These points I write from standard books and my notes.

Good Work!!
Thank you so much.
