- find the transpose of matrices of varying sizes,
- identify symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices,
- perform matrix calculations involving transpose matrices.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- adding and subtracting matrices,
- scalar multiplication of matrices.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- multiplying matrices.
