Vectors, Matrices and Transformations
It is said that the Allied forces were able to shorten WW2 with two years due to the information they retrieved from Enigma. Mr Alan Turing and his crew were able to break the code of enigma by building a sophisticated computer. This deciphering machine used matrices to decode and read secret messages from the Germans which gave the Allies a tactical advantage. Matrices are still used in computers up till today. Another example of the central and essential role maths plays in our lives. Study the following sections therefore carefully. I will explain to you what Vectors, Matrices and Transformations are and how to use them to answer all sorts of maths questions. So study all these important maths topics during your revision and pass your next IGCSE GCSE Maths exam. Let me know if you need more help on the forum and I will help you with your maths by answering your questions. Good luck!
