Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide an overall introduction to the main numerical methods for solving equation systems (both linear and non-linear). Particular attention is given to placing the methods in context, with reference to a wide range of literature (books and software), thus allowing the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.
