How to calculate the transpose of a matrix?
The transposition of a matrix (or transpose of matrix) is one of the most basic matrix operations to perform. The transpose of a matrix consists of inverting the rows with the columns:
$$ \text{ If } M = \begin{bmatrix} a & c & e \\ b & d & f \end{bmatrix} \text{ Then } M^T = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \\ e & f \end{bmatrix} $$
The lines are read from left to right and are transposed from top to bottom.
Example: $$ M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow M^t = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} $$
The transposition of a matrix $ M $ is noted $ M^t $ or $ ^tM $. The transposition operation is then noted with an exponent T or t (uppercase or lowercase) prefixed or postfixed.
The transposition is valid on both square matrices and rectangular matrices. A transposed row vector is a column vector and vice versa.
What is a double transposition?
Transposing twice a matrix returns it unchanged.
The double transposition is the name given to a cryptographic cipher.
What is the transpose of a row matrix or a column matrix?
The transpose of a column matrix is a line matrix of the same size and vice versa.
Example: The transpose from $ \begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix} $ is $ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \end{bmatrix} $
Example: The transpose from $ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \end{bmatrix} $ is $ \begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix} $
