 After doing this project I have found some tricks:

1. The easiest way to find the matrix that has a det of 1 is the triangle in the top
right or the bottom left need to be 0 with 1 along the diagonal
2. Matrix has the specific place of multiple Ex. AB /
= BA
Message x Key = Code
Message = Code x (Key)-1
Message / = (Key)-1x Code
3. To find the inverse I use Gauss-Jordan elimination
Also using 1/ det A adj (A) will work

Reflection

My class had come up with a piece of writing that we later divide it up into parts so
we can encrypt it. The encryption has to be the form of matrices as well as the
finding of determinant, finding inverse, and decryption. Our class discussed the
piece of writing that our class chose to create funny scenario from the true the
story in our math class. It has 720 letters in total so we divided the letters into
36 letters for each individual. With 36 characters, so I choose to use 6 x 6. Then,
we create a table that indicates the number in alphabetical. I think the hardest part
of this project is finding the encode matrix because the determinant need to be 1.
I did some research for tips and tricks. I recalculate I work again and again; I
always make a simple mistake because there are lots of numbers and I get mess
up. When there is a mistake in one place, I need to start all over again. This project
make me become more precise as I always keep checking my answers.
