Reflection:
In this project, we needed to create a code for the message that we wanted to
write by using what we have learned which was matrix. At first, we needed to decide
what we wanted to do as a group. After that, we needed to create our own key. Then
create our own document, which I had trouble with. At first, I chose to use a
spreadsheet because I thought that it is easy and tidy to do, but it didn’t seem like what I
imagined because there were a lot of cells and it couldn’t write the steps without being
messy. Therefore, I transferred my information to Google Doc. In addition, I had the
problem that I was doing the 6x6 matrix but my calculator didn’t provide me with the 6x6
matrices, so I used the internet to help me calculate. This project made me know the
use of matrices which can be used to send a very private message to the other that they
need to have the same key with the sender to unlock the code by using what we had
learned which was determinant, inverse, and identity. I also felt that this project doesn’t
take much, but it’s kind of a disorder because there were so many numbers.
