Homework Statement
Hi guys
If I have a vector v, then is it correct notation to write
[tex]
\mathbf v =
\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
{v_1 } \\
{v_2 } \\
\end{array}} \right) = (v_1,v_2)^T,
[/tex]
where T is the transpose?
The notation for vector transpose is represented by the symbol \mathbf v. It is commonly used in linear algebra to indicate a row vector being converted to a column vector, or vice versa.
In mathematical equations, vector transpose is written as \mathbf v^T, where the superscript T represents the transpose operation.
The purpose of using vector transpose is to change the orientation of a vector from a row vector to a column vector, or vice versa. This is useful for performing various operations in linear algebra, such as matrix multiplication.
Yes, vector transpose can also be applied to matrices. In this case, it involves switching the rows and columns of a matrix, and is denoted by \mathbf A^T for a matrix \mathbf A.
Vector transpose and vector conjugate are two different operations. Vector conjugate involves taking the complex conjugate of all the elements in a vector, while vector transpose changes the orientation of the vector. In some cases, both operations can be applied to a vector, resulting in a conjugate transpose.
