2. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

   In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1][2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously ...

3. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

   A system of polynomial equations (sometimes simply a polynomial system) is a set of simultaneous equations f1 = 0, ..., fh = 0 where the fi are polynomials in several variables, say x1, ..., xn, over some field k. A solution of a polynomial system is a set of values for the xi s which belong to some algebraically closed field extension K of k ...

4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

   Solving an equation symbolically means that expressions can be used for representing the solutions. For example, the equation x + y = 2x – 1 is solved for the unknown x by the expression x = y + 1, because substituting y + 1 for x in the equation results in (y + 1) + y = 2 (y + 1) – 1, a true statement. It is also possible to take the ...

5. Equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

   [2] [3] The word equation and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for example, in French an équation is defined as containing one or more variables, while in English, any well-formed formula consisting of two expressions related with an equals sign is an equation. [4] Solving an equation containing variables ...

6. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

   Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, −1 and −4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero. The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a, b, c, and d of the cubic ...

7. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

   t. e. In mathematics, separation of variables (also known as the Fourier method) is any of several methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, in which algebra allows one to rewrite an equation so that each of two variables occurs on a different side of the equation.

8. Linear equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

   The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that has been defined in the preceding section. If b = 0, the line is a vertical line (that is a line parallel to ...

9. Coefficient matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_matrix

   Coefficient matrix. In general, a system with m linear equations and n unknowns can be written as. where are the unknowns and the numbers are the coefficients of the system. The coefficient matrix is the m × n matrix with the coefficient aij as the (i, j) th entry: [1] Then the above set of equations can be expressed more succinctly as.
