Symmetric complex matrix

Question

Is this matrix symmetric?

$$ A= \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 & (1+i) \\ 0 & 3 & -1 \\ (1-i) & -1 & 3 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$

The $a_{13}$ and $a_{31}$ entries are not visually the same. I would probably look at the magnitude of these given complex number which is for both equal to the same number. Is it okay?

I know this question is trivial but I am somehow confused.

Answer 1

Since $a_{31}\neq a_{13}$, it is not symmetric. But it is a Hermitian matrix.
