Chapter 1 Overview
Chapter 1 introduces the idea of solving systems of linear equations, provides an algorithm that can always be used to find solutions, and introduces Sage as a tool to do these computations for us.
- 1.1 What can we Expect?
- 1.2 Finding solutions to systems of linear equations
- 1.3 Computation with Sage/Gaussian elimination
- 1.4 Pivots and their influence on the solution space
We will see the following applications: balancing chemical equations, traffic flow, and temperature distribution on a grid.
