The Matrix‚ “The Allegory of the Cave‚” and “The Meditations on First Philosophy‚” readings all seem to have one common thread. These are still the age old questions that remains unanswered‚ “Am I real‚” “is the world real‚” “is anything real?” These questions or state of mind has been asked and answered by so many people beyond these readings that it is overwhelmingly‚ one of the largest subjects not only in philosophy‚ but also in non-fiction‚ fiction and science fiction writings.

Meditations on First Philosophy. He points out that it is difficult to determine if what we experience is reality or simply dreams. In modern times‚ many movies hint at this as well. One such movie that I think portrays Descartes’ beliefs perfectly is The Matrix trilogy. In the movie‚ humans live within their dreams where they don’t know they are dreaming. Should the person awake‚ they desperately wish to return to the dreaming world where little is questioned and they can live their lives in ignorance of

important part in the applications of linear algebra. The naive method of finding the eigenvalues of a matrix involves finding the roots of the characteristic polynomial of the matrix. In industrial sized matrices‚ however‚ this method is not feasible‚ and the eigenvalues must be obtained by other means. Fortunately‚ there exist several other techniques for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix‚ some of which fall under the realm of iterative methods. These methods work by repeatedly refining

Therefore‚ as I need not belabor the obviousness of beginning‚ I will offer this as a point of agreement.
