Episode 07a (25:33):
Transposes and Symmetric Matrices
Summary:
We introduce the simple but amazingly essential transpose, $\mathbf{A}^{\rm T}$, the flipped version of $\mathbf{A}$ across the main diagnonal. It's a short hop to thinking about symmetric matrices, those necessarily square matrices who are the same as their transpose, $\mathbf{A} = \mathbf{A}^{\rm T}.$ We survey a number of eldritch properties of the transpose and symmetric matrices starting with the product rule $(\mathbf{AB})^{\rm T} = \mathbf{B}^{\rm T} \mathbf{A}^{\rm T}.$
