The discussion focuses on identifying the best resources for learning to prove true statements in mathematics. Participants suggest exploring online resources like ProofWiki for techniques on math proofs. There is a specific interest in book recommendations for learning proof writing, with references to related discussions on Math.StackExchange. The conversation highlights the need for both online and print resources to effectively grasp proof techniques. Overall, a combination of websites and books is considered beneficial for mastering the skill of proving statements.
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...
