individual’s best interest to remain “ignorant and happy”, but as the curious humans’ we cannot resist a chance to discover the absolute truth and meaning to life in general and in our own life. Through examining Platos , “Allegory of the Cave, the Matrix and other examples, it will be proven why I believe that it is in one’s best interest to remain ignorant, but as humans we have a need to discover truth and purpose within life. Plato's “Allegory of the Cave” is a scenario where 6 prisoners are

c=3 etc then “put out the cat” becomes 16 21 20 15 21 20 20 8 5 3 1 20. If we use the following randomly chosen matrix A= 1483852321 ------------------------------------------------- as a multiplier for each of these then ‘put’ = B = 16 21 20 becomes 452 273 110 1. Verify this and ascertain the code for “out”, “the”, and “cat”. How can this message be coded by one matrix calculation? PUT = 16 21 20 x 1483852321 = 16 x 14+21 x 8+20 x 316 x 8+21 x 5+20 x 2(16 x 3+21 x 2+20 x 1)

the seventeenth century and the movie The Matrix can be so similar? It is the intent of this paper to compare and contrast these questions in relation to the movie The Matrix. The main thing that stands out for each one of these is the question of the reality of the world in which we live. Our sense of being is called into question in each of these examples. Are our senses correct or are we simply living in a dream world that is made up? The Matrix is a computer system that has taken control

planes have to parallel 2. Any two of the planes have to be parallel and the third must meet one of the planes at some point and the other at another point. For example; solve the system of equations below: Using matrix method: In the last row of the above augmented matrix, we have ended up with all zeros on both sides of the equations. This means that two of the planes formed by the equations in the system of equations are parallel, and thus the system of equations is said to have an infinite

Falls have been defined as unintentional descents to the floor, which can be due to a variety of factors such as clinical and environmental factors. Fall rates are calculated as the number of patient falls divided by the number of patient bed days multiplied by 1000. Similaril, injury rates are calculated as the number of injuries due to falls divided by the number of patient bed days multiplied by 1000. Up to 12% of hospitalized patients fall at least once during their hospital stay; falls can lengthen
