Plural of Matrix?

[sophie]

This is a bit of a random subject for a thread, but I am writing something and I need to know the plural of 'Matrix' (as in The Matrix). We thought maybe 'Matrices', as the plural of vertex is vertices, but I am really not sure, so if you could help, I'd appreciate it
thanks.

The plural term for "Matrix" is "Matrices".
Matrices are actually a particular area of math.

 

[conkermaniac]

A matrix is a table (commonly used in higher-level mathematics and computer graphic designing), so in this case, goirulz is right. The plural of matrix is "matrices".

ooh, I know! It's Matrices!

 

[shizzle]

Don't listen to them. It's Matri. (i'm kidding. Dont listen to me)

Hmm, I don't know what two Matrix's are, but 3 is called a "trilogy".

what is the matrix? :cool2:

Was that...sarcasm?

I am the one. There is no matrix. I control it. Thus I control nothing, thus I control everything. Everything is nothing, since everything is the matrix, and the matrix is nothing. Nothing is Everything in my control and I control the nothing of everything that the matrix makes nothing everything's nothingness.

The Spoon is not There...........

The spoon is there alright, your just too stupid to see it.

The best part:

Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced
equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality
of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to
eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While
it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus
not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.

btw, there is no spoon, when you realise it, you find that it's your mind that bends, not the spoon.

 

[sophie]

There IS no spoon!

 

[The Red Guy]

There IS a spoon. How do you tell real from fake?

 

[Fuzzylogic]

Just though i would put in my two cents worth (well 5 censt cause australia don't make them any more), the word 'matrix'has nothing to do with mathematics, its actually greek for 'womb'. :biggrin2:
btw, maybe the mind and the spoon both bend, but if there is no spoon, is there no mind?

 

[The Red Guy]

There is a mind, and there is a spoon. Remember, "your mind makes it real" (Morpheus in The Matrix)
