    A symmetric matrix is such that element aij = element aji.

    i.e. if you transpose rows for columns you get the same matrix.

    (The matrix must be square).

    A skew-symmetric matrix is similar to a symmetric one except that

    element aij = - element aji

    i.e. the transposed matrix is the negative of the original one.
