So given a short exact sequence of vector spaces $0\longrightarrow U\longrightarrow V \longrightarrow W\longrightarrow 0$ With linear transformations $S$ and $T$ from left to right in the non-trivial places.
I want to show that the corresponding sequence of duals is also exact, namely that $0\longleftarrow U^*\longleftarrow V^* \longleftarrow W^*\longleftarrow 0$
with functions $\circ S$ and $\circ T$ again from left to right in the non-trivial spots. So I'm a bit lost here. Namely, I'm not chasing with particular effectiveness. Certainly this "circle" notation is pretty suggestive, and I suspect that this is a generalization of the ordinary transpose, but I'm not entirely sure there either.
Any hints and tips are much appreciated.
