Gaussian Elimination is a process
whereby
you can solve a series of linear equations. As an
example consider: these three equations:
3x + 2y - z = 1
6x + 6y +2z = 12
3x - 2y + z = 11
Can we easily find a way to find values of x,y,and z where all three
are satisfied?.
Through
Gaussian Elimination we can find the folowing solution:
x = 2, y = -1, z = 3
To see the applet solve this problem press the Demo button and then
press the Solve once or the
Step Solve button repeatedly.
To solve other problems enter the
number
of rows and column and Press the Setup
button. Then fill in the appropriate values in the Initial Matrix.
Press the Solve button, this will open
a new window Press the Solve button in this new window once or the
Step Solve button repeatedly.
