> and A^* is a standard notation for the conjugate transpose
This seems strange. I didn't realize A† was mainly only used in quantum mechanics, but it seems better to have a distinct notation, since A* could mean a matrix with all the entries conjugated but in the same places.
So, from a physics standpoint it appears to have a bit of a mathematics accent, which is a bit like how real accents are perceived: someone who has lived in two countries will have a foreign accent according to natives of each.
