MHB Geometric Shapes in Everyday Life

Click For Summary
Geometric shapes are prevalent in everyday life, often found in nature and human-made structures. Common examples include circles in wheels and clocks, triangles in rooftops and road signs, and rectangles in doors and windows. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing these shapes in various contexts, such as architecture and natural formations. Participants are encouraged to explore visual resources online to identify these shapes further. Understanding geometric shapes enhances appreciation of both the natural world and design elements in daily life.

Thread 'Erroneously  finding discrepancy in transpose rule'
Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
