Wonderful! If they would only introduce the subject in this manner. They did not in my time. Judging from the fact that so many students do not understand anything about simultaneous equations...

The three diagrams "Inconsistent", "Independent", "Dependent" are the fundamental geometric interpretation by which half of Numerical Analysis can be understood. Because these concepts are usually introduced through determinants the concept of ill conditioned cannot be understood correctly.

Didn't even bother to look for errors. Loved the page.

Awesome page, really great stuff!

I just noticed a few things:

Small typo for "iseems":
In this case it iseems easiest to set them equal to each other:


And the solve by substitution method for 3x3 under the section "Now replace "z" with "3 - y" in the other equation:" the 3-y is not aligned correctly. 3-y is not on one line but the y goes underneath.

Thanks David,

The handwritten parts were to illustrate how the user could do it.
