  1. I was not expecting to see matrix algebra here. 🤣 Thanks for making Kanji seem more sensical.

  2. Doesn’t work that way. In matrix multiplication it’s important which element is left and which is right, and if your example left and right components of kanji are mixed and don’t correspond to initial kanji standing on the left or on the right.

  3. Okay, as someone who got a computer engineering degree with a minor in math and Japanese, it’s like this joke was made for me!

  4. There are a couple of fudges, most of them due to the non-commutative nature of the operation of combining components. Still, a noble effort.

  5. It always surprised me that there were Japanese words like 線形代数 and 行列 for mathematical and scientific concepts imported from overseas. They struggle to even not say “door” and “knife” in English let alone these difficult concepts.
