$numerical.EigenValues(A:Matrix):List
Description
This function returns a matrix, containing numerical approximation to A's eigenvalues.
Therefore the input matrix A has to be quadratic!
It is implemented in the ApCoCoA server, so you need a running server. It was not implemented in version 0.99.4 or previous. Also please keep in mind this method is based on blas/Lapack's eigenvalue solver and uses floating point arithmetic. This is not an exact, algebraic method! The output contains of a matrix B. Each of the rows in B describe on of the eigenvalues of A. The first column of B contains the real part of the eigenvalues, the second column the imagonary ones.
