  1. Hello Zena :) I liked this post so much, it is nice to know a way we can understand matrices further more, the reltion between numbers and letters, especially relating matrices to letters in such a way gives the subject a splash of interest and makes it interesting to study matrices.
    As for me it is the first time I study matrices and I found it great especially after checking this website where I found that matrices could really be fun.
    The usage of encoding and decoding of letters to words to numbers refreshes the topic.
    I liked the pattern used and it is really smart to reach such an idea in a topic like ,atrices so Good Job :)

  2. Hello Zena I loved this post so much it is so creative, it is smart to find such a relation between letters and numbers and words and I guess sometimes we would be using matrices in text messages :P and it would be nice to make a new language, matrices language :) then I may say 14, 22, 8, 1, 11, 10, 6, 17, ( Thank You )

  4. Hello Ms. Zeina Nehme,
    I was realy interested in reading some of the posts found on this blog.
    Relating Math to real life makes it quite much more interesting & much easier to be understood.
    As a biology student- I'm concerned more in relationship btw math & biology- and after a small research- found a study done in university of Arizona using matrices in experiment done on plant biology.
    Done by: Alberto Macias-Duarte

    School of Natural Resources, The University of Arizona.
    The Matrix: Applying Matrices to Explore Plant Life Histories and Conservation
    Using following matrix operations:
    a. Addition of matrices
    b. Addition of matrices and multiplication of matrices by scalars
    c. Matrix multiplication
    d. Matrix multiplication
    e. Matrix-vector multiplication

    In this experiment, matrices makes biological results easier to be obtained & biology students more involved in math.:)
    Finally, Thank you Ms. Zeina ...:)
