Your summary note

1. Finding an SVD from eigenvectors of $T^*T$
  State the recipe, then carry it through for $T(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) = (-5x_4, 0, x_1+x_2)$ : unit eigenvectors $e_1, e_2$ for eigenvalues $25, 2$ , then $f_1, f_2$ from $f_k = Te_k/s_k$ .
2. Matrix SVD: statement and the three factors
  State the theorem for a $p$ -by- $n$ matrix $A$ of rank $m$ , giving the sizes and properties of $B$ , $D$ and $C$ , and build them from $f_1,\dots,f_m$ , $s_1,\dots,s_m$ and $e_1,\dots,e_m$ .
3. Proof that $A = BDC^*$
  Show $AC = BD$ column by column, multiply by $C^*$ , then prove $ACC^* = A$ by checking agreement on $\text{span}(e_1,\dots,e_m)$ and on its orthogonal complement.
4. Storage cost of a low-rank factorization
  Count the $m(p+m+n)$ entries of $B$ , $D$ and $C$ against the $pn$ entries of $A$ , and record when the factorization saves storage.
