Default Re: Linear algebra, matrices, and you

A is an orthogonal matrix, which mean A A^T=I=A^T A, for instance
A=1/sqrt(2)* [1 1
1 -1]
in fact there are an infinite number of such matrices (in the complex field at least) and the set of all such matrices are closed under multiplication. They show up a lot in the theory of matrices.
