From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Example \Ex*am"ple\, n. [A later form for ensample, fr. L.
      exemplum, orig., what is taken out of a larger quantity, as a
      sample, from eximere to take out. See {Exempt}, and cf.
      {Ensample}, {Sample}.]
      1. One or a portion taken to show the character or quality of
            the whole; a sample; a specimen.
  
      2. That which is to be followed or imitated as a model; a
            pattern or copy.
  
                     For I have given you an example, that ye should do
                     as [?] have done to you.                     --John xiii.
                                                                              15.
  
                     I gave, thou sayest, the example; I led the way.

            and to serve as a warning; a warning.
  
                     Hang him; he'll be made an example.   --Shak.
  
                     Now these things were our examples, to the intent
                     that we should not lust after evil things, as they
                     also lusted.                                       --1 Cor. x. 6.
  
      5. An instance serving for illustration of a rule or precept,
            especially a problem to be solved, or a case to be
            determined, as an exercise in the application of the rules
            of any study or branch of science; as, in trigonometry and
            grammar, the principles and rules are illustrated by
            examples.
  
      Syn: Precedent; case; instance.
  
      Usage: {Example}, {Instance}. The discrimination to be made
                  between these two words relates to cases in which we
                  give [bd]instances[b8] or [bd]examples[b8] of things
                  done. An instance denotes the single case then
                  [bd]standing[b8] before us; if there be others like
                  it, the word does not express this fact. On the
                  contrary, an example is one of an entire class of like
                  things, and should be a true representative or sample
                  of that class. Hence, an example proves a rule or
                  regular course of things; an instance simply points
                  out what may be true only in the case presented. A
                  man's life may be filled up with examples of the
                  self-command and kindness which marked his character,
                  and may present only a solitary instance of haste or
                  severity. Hence, the word [bd]example[b8] should never
                  be used to describe what stands singly and alone. We
                  do, however, sometimes apply the word instance to what
                  is really an example, because we are not thinking of
                  the latter under this aspect, but solely as a case
                  which [bd]stands before us.[b8] See {Precedent}.

   eigenvalue
  
      The factor by which a {linear transformation}
      multiplies one of its {eigenvector}s.
  
      (1995-04-10)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   eigenvector
  
      A {vector} which, when acted on by a particular
      {linear transformation}, produces a scalar multiple of the
      original vector.   The scalar in question is called the
      {eigenvalue} corresponding to this eigenvector.
  
      It should be noted that "vector" here means "element of a
      vector space" which can include many mathematical entities.
      Ordinary vectors are elements of a vector space, and
      multiplication by a matrix is a {linear transformation} on
      them; {smooth functions} "are vectors", and many partial
      differential operators are linear transformations on the space
      of such functions; quantum-mechanical states "are vectors",
      and {observables} are linear transformations on the state
      space.
  
      An important theorem says, roughly, that certain linear
      transformations have enough eigenvectors that they form a
      {basis} of the whole vector states.   This is why {Fourier
      analysis} works, and why in quantum mechanics every state is a
      superposition of eigenstates of observables.
  
      An eigenvector is a (representative member of a) {fixed point}
      of the map on the {projective plane} induced by a {linear
      map}.

      as a warning (Heb. 4:11); of the prophets as suffering
      affliction (James 5:10).
