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