Matrices in Computer Science
• Project Topic:
• How Matrices Are Used in Computer Science
• With Real Examples
What is a Matrix?
• A matrix is a table of numbers
• Arranged in rows and columns
• Example:
• [1 2]
• [3 4]
Example 1: Images
• Digital images are matrices
• Each number = pixel color
• Example:
• [255 255 0]
• [0 255 0]
• Used in photo editing
Example 2: Computer Graphics
• Used to move objects in games
• Rotation and scaling
• Example:
• Matrix rotates a character
• Used in 3D games
Example 3: Machine Learning
• Data stored as matrices
• Neural networks calculate using matrices
• Example:
• Face recognition
• Recommendation systems
Example 4: Cryptography
• Matrices encrypt messages
• Convert letters to numbers
• Multiply by a matrix
• Used in secure communication
Example 5: Graphs & Networks
• Social networks use matrices
• Friends represented by 0 and 1
• Example:
• Facebook friend connections
Conclusion
• Matrices are everywhere in CS
• Images, games, AI, security
• Very powerful mathematical tool
