Hi, that is no fake, because it is stored like this:

??m
m = MatrixForm[{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}]

If you type

(m = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} }) // MatrixForm

all is fine :-)

Regards

Betreff: [mg45177] Transpose matrix does not work when MatrixForm is
used, why?


hello

Mathematica 5.0

m = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} } // MatrixForm
Transpose[m]

this just does nothing. it simply prints back what I typed with
m in MatrixForm but does not actually do the transpose.

But when I do

m = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6} }
Transpose[m]


it works.

It seems that the function Transpose does not like to accept a
list in 'MatrixForm' ?

I use a MatrixForm to see the matrix better. Does this mean one have
to removed the MatrixForm each time before calling Transpose?
