(2015). Finite Mathematics for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences. Pearson, 13th (Global) Edition. p:245-247.

Matrix inverse operation can be used to encode or decode of a message. For example

text = 'matlab & cody'.

numeric equivalent is

num = [109 97 116 108 97 98 32 38 32 99 111 100 121]

let

key = magic(3);

*key* is an arbitrary square matrix and its inverse is exist.

reshape the vector *num* so it has the same number of rows with *key* matrix

numMatrix = [109 108 32 99 121;
                 97 97 38 111 32;
                116 98 32 100 32];

Note that last two elements are filled with 32 which is the numeric equivalent of blank character ' '.

Finally multiply *key* with *numMatrix* (and reshape it) to obtain an encoded vector.

encodedVector= [1665 1624 1541 1549 1495 1501 486 510 534 1503 1552 1595 1192 747 836]

if you multiply *inverse of key* with reshaped *encodedVector* you can obtain the ascii numbers of secret message.

it's a bit unclear why padding is necessary in the first two test cases, where the number of characters (15) is already a multiple of the key size (3 or 5, respectively)

I agree with Alfonso.

@Mehmet can you explain why?
