There is no built-in complex math in Lua. No vector operations either. All had to be rolled by hand.

Run from the command-line with the following arguments:
lua eigen.lua Re(a) Im(a) Re(b) Im(b) Re(c) Im(c) Re(d) Im(d)
Produces the following output:
Re(lambda1) Im(lambda1) Re(lambda2) Im(lambda2)
Re(v11) Im(v11) Re(v12) Im(v12) Re(v21) Im(v21) Re(v22) Im(v22)
...for a,b,c,d the 4 components of the input matrix, lambda1 and lambda2 the two eigenvalues, v11,v21 the first unit eigenvector, and v12,v22 the second unit eigenvector. For example,
lua eigen.lua 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
...produces...
