Subject:RE: Nitpicky word question: matrix vs. table? From:"Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 2 Mar 2001 08:04:05 -0500
Steve Hudson provides additional <ahem> enlightenment: <<A matrix and a
table are slightly different. The key is that every element of a matrix
relates to every other. Generally speaking, a table cell relates only to the
terminating headers on the x and y planes, and not to each other.>>
Huh? Once more in mathematics, please. That one's not even internally
consistent.
<<If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit
instead!>>
Consider me baffled.
