See my version
symmetric bilinear maps
that is also a
bilinear form
.

Symmetric bilinear form
Like the
matrix representation of a bilinear form
, it is a
matrix
, but now the matrix has to be a
symmetric matrix
.
We can then immediately see that the matrix is symmetric, then so is the form. We have:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
x
T
M
y
(1)
But because
B
(
x
,
y
)
is a
scalar
, we have:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
B
(
x
,
y
)
T
(2)
and:
B
(
x
,
y
)
=
B
(
x
,
y
)
T
=
(
x
T
M
y
)
T
=
y
T
M
T
x
=
y
T
M
T
x
=
y
T
M
x
=
B
(
y
,
x
)
