Multiply two matrices

Suppose ${\bf A}$ is the following matrix:

${\bf A} = \begin{bmatrix} 0.8 & 0.5 & 0.3\\ 0.4 & 0.1 & 0.4\\ 0.5 & 1.0 & 1.0\\\end{bmatrix}$

In code this is:

1	A = [0.8 0.5 0.3; 0.4 0.1 0.4; 0.5 1.0 1.0];

1	A = {{0.8, 0.5, 0.3}, {0.4, 0.1, 0.4}, {0.5, 1.0, 1.0}};

import numpy as np

A = np.array([[0.8, 0.5, 0.3], [0.4, 0.1, 0.4], [0.5, 1.0, 1.0]])

A = matrix(c(0.8, 0.5, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0), nrow = 3, ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE)

from sympy import *

A = Matrix([[0.8, 0.5, 0.3], [0.4, 0.1, 0.4], [0.5, 1.0, 1.0]])

What is the matrix ${\bf B} = {\bf A}{\bf A}^T$?

${\bf B} =$
