# Transpose and adjoint

Put content here**Transpose:** The **transpose** of an $m \times n$ matrix $A$, denoted $A^T$, is the $n \times m$ matrix obtained by flipping rows and columns:
⏎
$$(A^T)_{ij} = a_{ji}$$
⏎
**Example:**
$$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{pmatrix}^T = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 5 \\ 3 & 6 \end{pmatrix}$$
⏎
**Properties:**
- $(A^T)^T = A$
- $(A + B)^T = A^T + B^T$
- $(AB)^T = B^T A^T$
- $(A^{-1})^T = (A^T)^{-1}$
⏎
**Adjoint (conjugate transpose):** For a complex matrix $A$, the **adjoint** $A^*$ (or $A^H$) is the conjugate of the transpose:
⏎
$$A^* = (\overline{A})^T$$
⏎
For real matrices, $A^* = A^T$. A matrix is **Hermitian** if $A^* = A$, and **symmetric** if $A^T = A$.
