Abstract

In this chapter we will investigate the solution of sets of linear algebraic equations. First, we show a method which will be used in most practical cases. This is the Gaussian method of elimination and its refinements. The basic idea is quite clear and elementary. Notation in matrix form will prove to be helpful.
