Title: 8_3 Solution by Gauss Elimination
Course: HELM Workbooks 2023-2024 > Section: HELM 8: Matrix Solution of Equations

Many problem can be approximated by a large systems of linear equations; for example in determining the forces in a large framework or finding currents in a complicated electrical circuit. The method of Gauss elimination provides a systematic approach to finding the solution in these cases.

Gauss elimination is in general the best method we will cover for determining the solution of a system of linear equations and even allows us to understand systems which do not have a unique solution.
