how to calculate the complex conjugate of matrix

[monlaw]

How does the mathematica calculate the complex conjugate in the matrix?
I want to calculate the intensity of light by the eq. I=E*E in matrix form.
Another question is that I can't printout my solution completely.
My solution is very complex and printout by one page, and the printer is
always printed some result of my solution.
But I can't make it about three weeks ago.
Somebody help me, please!

Hi,

how do *you* calculate the conjugate of a matrix ?
Transpose[Conjugate[m]].m

or

Conjugate[m].m

?

Hi Monlaw,
Conjugate simply threads over a matrix, i.e. each element is conjugated.
However, dealing with matrices one usually needs the conjugated
transpose -> Conjugate[Transpose[m]] .

Perhaps I do not understand that question right, but if you select File
-> PrintingSettings, you can change the PageSetup to Landscape and
select "Print multiple pages for wide cells" from PrintingOptions.

Hope this helps,
Harald
