So if you take the transpose of both sides of the equation, you get a times a inverse transpose is equal to the identity matrix. In linear algebra, the transpose of a matrix is an operator which flips a matrix over its diagonal, that is it switches the row and column indices of the matrix by producing another matrix denoted as a t also written a. Now ill give precise definitions of the various matrix operations. The transpose then satisfies m t v,wv,mw, that is, if instead of transforming w by m, we can transform v by m t and well get the same dot product. Features you might already know about matrices, such as squareness and symmetry, affect the transposition results in obvious ways.
