    Proving an Identity Involving Matrices and Inner Products

    Thanks. Although using my definition for the standard inner product I had to use \langle a , b \rangle = a^t \bar{y}, but it all worked out in the end.

    Proving an Identity Involving Matrices and Inner Products

    Is there a non-ugly proof of the following identity: \langle Ax,y \rangle = \langle x,A^*y \rangle where A is an nxn matrix over, say, \mathbb{C}, A* is its conjugate transpose, and \langle \cdot , \cdot \rangle is the standard inner product on \mathbb{C} ^n.

    Should I Choose European History AP or Computer Science Next Year?

    Yeah, I agree, Java is an OK intro to programming language, but it's not an excellent language in general.

    I want to study real physics where to start?

    Umm, you mean Real and Complex Analysis by Rudin? For a high school student aspiring to learn physics? Are you mad?

    Is Teaching Really That Hard? Grading as a TA

    In one of the papers I marked, the student listed all the primes to brute force a question. Good thing there are only like 15 primes. :wink:

    How many integers from 1 through 99,999 is the sum of their digits = 9?

    Aren't they simply those integers divisible by 9? So there should be 99,999/9 of them.

    Forums groups not collapsing/expanding in Prime

    They did. You could switch to the other skin, collapse them, and switch back.

    Back Injury Causes Agonizing Pain and Discomfort

    Oops, I thought the term chiropractor meant "bone doctor." I guess I was wrong; should I have used orthopedician instead?

    When should parents stop giving allowances to their children?

    I'm 19 and I get allowance. (I have a part-time job during school, and ideally a full-time job otherwise.) Where I'm from, it's perfectly natural for your parents to take care of you financially until you get your degree. Then it's your turn to work your ass off so they can retire with luxury...
