Is Matrix algebra a Neo-concept??

Perhaps we need an Oracle to translate Adelie's remarks?

I know I didn't have to duck to get under that one....

Only if you think a couple of thousand years is “new”.

Matrix, The movie.

Neo, The character.

Methinks you may have missed the movie reference


Edit:
I see Jason beat me to it.
(But may have missed the reference to the Oracle character)

There's a Math Movie..???

[Buzzman]

I mean, I've seen the TV show, The Einstein Factor....


It was relatively good.....

No there is a Reality-is-a-Fake-Construct-in-your-Mind movie.

Oh the shame... the maths nerd in me overrode the movie nerd in me.

At least now I know which bit is in control.

Multiply vectors? How do you do that if it's not co-linear? I know you can add vectors, that's how you plan a passage in tidal waters but how would 223 degrees at 6 knots multiplied by 17 degrees at 1 knot give you a valid answer?

Spot on!



It is more than I *ever* want to know.



My brain has gone all hurty......

perhaps all the math and engineering nerds could start a new thread called

"the math nerd and engineer's super special joke thread" in which you could all thrlll yourselves with esoteric math and engineering 'rib slappers' such as multiplying co-linear vectors and such?

This would go a long way towards improving the joke to junk ratio of the thread - currently it's hovering at roughly 10 junk/unrelated posts per actual joke

as long as the matrix is not too offensive...

Did you hear about the semi-colon that broke the law?
He was given two consecutive sentences.

I bought the world’s worst thesaurus yesterday.
Not only is it terrible, it’s terrible.

I’m only familiar with 25 letters in the English language.
I don’t know why!

My girlfriend walked out on me for being too old fashioned.
I thought we had good alchemy.
