| A real $latex n\times n$ matrix $LATEX A$ is symmetric positive definite if it is symmetric ($LATEX A$ is equal to its transpose, $LATEX A^T$) and $latex x^T\!Ax > 0 \quad \mbox{for all nonzero vectors}~x. $ By making particular choices of $latex x$ in this definition we can derive the inequalities $latex \begin{alignedat}{2} a_{ii} &>0...
