Understanding eig()

  I want to confirm the interpretation of the output I get by feeding a
matrix to the eig() function. What I read on page 184 of the manual suggests
that the results of eig(a) are lambda, so the topmost value is the maximum
eigenvalue. Is this correct?

  My linear algebra review refreshed me on the math. Now I need to
understand what octave presents to me.

TIA,

Rich
