Transpose

Transpose[list]
transposes the first two levels in list.
Transpose[list, {n1, n2, ...}]
transposes list so that the k^(th) level in list is the nk^(th) level in the result.
  • Transpose gives the usual transpose of a matrix.
  • Acting on a tensor Ti1i2i3... Transpose gives the tensor Ti2i1i3....  »
  • Transpose[list, {n1, n2, ...}] gives the tensor Tin1in2....
  • So long as the lengths of the lists at particular levels are the same, the specifications nk do not necessarily have to be distinct.
