2. Solving systems of linear equations
Let A be a square matrix with n rows and n columns whose elements a
ij
are known. Let b be a vector whose n components b
i
are known. We search for the vector x, of components x
1
, x
2
, ..., x
n
, which verifies the system of linear equations :
The solution to this problem is well known, and can be found in all linear algebra courses: x i is equal to a ratio of determinants, with the determinant of the matrix A in the denominator and the same determinant in the numerator, in which...
