Are conjugation of matrices and conjugation of complex numbers related?
What I mean is that if $A$ is an $n \times n$ matrix then the conjugation of $A$ by an invertible $n \times n$ matrix $C$ is given by $CAC^{-1}$. On the other hand, if $a + bi$ is a complex number then it's conjugate is $a-bi$. These two operations don't really seem to have anything to do with one another but if they're unrelated why is the same term used to describe the operation?
