The 1999 film the Matrix by the Wachowski brothers is full of a host of interesting philosophical questions but one of the overriding themes of the film is an interesting reversal of Plato’s allegory of the cave. Anderson lives in world, which is controlled by the matrix agents just like Plato's prisoner lives in a cave being controlled by the puppeteers. Both Anderson and the prisoner of the cave manage to escape from the world, as they know it and come to know the world as it really is. Anderson

* 1. The Matrix 1999 Directors: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski Writers: Andy Wachowski, Lana WachowskiStars: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss * Thomas A. Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist

Hero's Journey Analysis of Matrix: Name: Dominick Robinson Date:5/15/2000 For Thomas A. Anderson, his ordinary world is ironically, a computer-simulated world, known as The Matrix. The real world is only a fake but the adventure world is real. By day, Thomas Anderson works as a computer programmer for a software company called Metacortex. By night, he is a computer hacker for hire known as Neo. In the simulated world, Thomas seems very bored and he doesn't care much about his job. He is always

The core theme of mind and body is presented throughout the movie, The Matrix. Morpheus, the leader of the resistance, explains to Neo (also known as “The One”) that the “reality” perceived by Neo is actually “a computer-generated dream world…a neural interactive simulation”, which is known as the matrix. Reality, the perception as we know it, in actual fact, is a simulated reality created by machines to subjugate the human race. Throughout the movie, those against the resistance are hooked up to

The order of a matrix having m rows and n columns is m x n. A matrix is an ordered set of numbers listed rectangular form. Example. Let A denote the matrix [2 5 7 8] [5 6 8 9] [3 9 0 1] This matrix A has three rows and four columns. We say it is a 3 x 4 matrix. We denote the element on the second row and fourth column with a2,4. Square matrixIf a matrix A has n rows and n columns then we say it's a square matrix. In a square matrix the elements ai,i

multiply the matrix by the position vector of the point. Example: A transformation is represented by the 2 by 2 matrix M = . To find the image of the point (3, 2) under this transformation, you need to find the result of the following matrix multiplication So the coordinates of the image are (8, -1). Example 2: A rectangle has coordinates (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3) and (1, 3). Find the coordinates of the image of the rectangle under the transformation represented by the matrix . Solution:

ESSAY Matrix Plato Descartes Essay James Brothers Phil 201 ESSAY In this essay I will look at the similarities and differences between the movie, The Matrix, an excerpt from Plato and an excerpt from Descartes. It will be seen that there are many similarities surrounding the prisoner in the Plato excerpt and the Character of Neo in The Matrix. A bit less similarities follows with the excerpt of Descartes however there are some. Let us begin. The

Volatility Forecasting Candidate number: Abstract This paper constructs a hedged portfolio with a long positon in S&P 500 index and a short position in FTSE 100 index. To calculate the time-varying hedge ratio, we use four methods, rolling window, EWMA, GARCH model and B-S model. Firstly, we explain the methods we used, including the assumptions, formulas and implications. Also, we implement the methods in the Excel to get the value of hedge ratios. Finally, we show the advantages and
