Transpose Mathematica Apr 2026
Mathematica treats matrices as nested lists. For arrays with depth greater than 2, Transpose can take a second argument to specify how levels (dimensions) should be rearranged. Transpose[list] Transposes the first two levels by default. Transpose[list, {n1, n2, ...}] Rearranges the list so the -th level becomes the -th level in the result. Transpose[list, m <-> n] Swaps specifically levels , leaving others unchanged. Transpose[list, k] Cycles all levels positions to the right. 3. Key Use Cases
You can use the superscript postfix operator m by typing ESC tr ESC . 2. Multi-Level Transposition (Tensors) Transpose Mathematica
Transpose only works on "rectangular" arrays, meaning all sub-lists at a given level must have the same length. Mathematica treats matrices as nested lists
Transposition is used to rotate images 90°. A 90° clockwise rotation involves finding the transpose and then reversing each row. Transpose[list, {n1, n2,
For complex matrices, use ConjugateTranspose[m] (or m ) if you need the Hermitian adjoint rather than a simple swap of indices. 5. Advanced Alternatives
coordinate lists), Transpose[{xList, yList}] is the standard way to pair them into a list of {x, y} points for plotting.
