Matrix decomposition

Matrix decomposition is when we take a big matrix (which is like a grid made of numbers) and break it into smaller, simpler matrices. This makes it easier to understand and use the numbers in the matrix. Think of it like a jig-saw puzzle. We take a big puzzle, break it into smaller pieces, and then put it back together. Matrix decomposition is like that, but with numbers instead of puzzle pieces!
