The Matrix

Deciding what to fill this post with I chose to write about one of the earliest definitions of matrix I remember encountering. In Algebra I believe it was, we were introduced to a matrix which is a group of numbers with an equal amount of numbers in rows and columns, the size is infinite. The purpose of this matrix as I remember it was to give several numbers which then would be used sequentially to be substituted into any given equation for a specific variable. This sounds way to much like a P2C2E, but that's what all math to me feels like. In the context of this class I think my algebraic definition can be used for its infinite possibilities. If we think of our selves as the equations and life as the numbers, it is us who chooses what the story will tell. Because our stories have already been told we can look to Finnegans Wake as the greatest most encompassing matrix of them all. Well, I guess math does have a place in this world.
