"text": "How is that matrix related to this matrix?"
},
{
"text": "It's just a transpose."
},
{
"text": "If I take the transpose of that matrix, I get that."
},
{
"text": "So what happens to the trace?"
},
{
"text": "I'm adding down the diagonal."
},
{
"text": "The transpose has no effect."
},
{
"text": "Clearly, this is just the fact that the trace doesn't change, is not changed when you transpose a matrix, because the diagonal is not changed."

"text": "Now, what about this guy?"
},
{
"text": "I guess we're getting back to old fashioned 18.065, remembering facts about linear algebra, because this is pure linear algebra."
},
{
"text": "So what's this one about?"
},
{
"text": "This says that I can reverse the order of two matrices."
},
{
"text": "I'm now looking at the connection between those two."
},
{
"text": "And so let me just use different letters."
},
{
"text": "CD equals the trace of DC."
},
{
"text": "I can flip the order."
},
{
"text": "That's all I've done here is I've reversed B with A transpose."
},
{
"text": "I reversed C with D. OK, so why is that true?"
