High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, two matrices A and B over a field are called congruent if there exists an invertible matrix P over the same field such that PTAP = B where "T" denotes the matrix transpose. Matrix congruence is an equivalence relation. Matrix congruence arises when considering the effect of change of basis on the Gram matrix attached to a bilinear form or quadratic form on a finite-dimensional vector space: two matrices are congruent if and only if they represent the same bilinear form with respect to different bases.
