Several users recommend "Mathematics for the Nonmathematician" as a comprehensive resource for analytic geometry, noting it covers a full high-school curriculum. The book is praised for its accessibility and clarity, making it suitable for those without a strong math background. Other suggestions include various textbooks that focus on the fundamentals of analytic geometry and provide practical applications. Participants emphasize the importance of choosing a book that balances theory with problem-solving. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for resources that cater to different learning styles in analytic geometry.
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...
