Frequently asked questions

Does the matrix have to be square?

No. Any m×n matrix has a transpose, which is an n×m matrix.

What is the transpose of a transpose?

(Aᵀ)ᵀ = A. Transposing twice returns the original matrix.

When is a matrix symmetric?

When A = Aᵀ. This is only possible for square matrices, and corresponds to the entries being mirrored across the main diagonal.
