  2. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    Cramer's rule. In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution. It expresses the solution in terms of the determinants of the (square) coefficient matrix and of matrices obtained from it by replacing one ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra

    Cramer's rule is a closed-form expression, in terms of determinants, of the solution of a system of n linear equations in n unknowns. Cramer's rule is useful for reasoning about the solution, but, except for n = 2 or 3, it is rarely used for computing a solution, since Gaussian elimination is a faster algorithm.

  5. Variation of parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_of_parameters

    t. e. In mathematics, variation of parameters, also known as variation of constants, is a general method to solve inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations. For first-order inhomogeneous linear differential equations it is usually possible to find solutions via integrating factors or undetermined coefficients with considerably less ...

  6. Rouché–Capelli theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouché–Capelli_theorem

    Rouché–Capelli theorem is a theorem in linear algebra that determines the number of solutions for a system of linear equations, given the rank of its augmented matrix and coefficient matrix. The theorem is variously known as the: Rouché–Capelli theorem in English speaking countries, Italy and Brazil; Kronecker–Capelli theorem in Austria ...

  7. Square matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_matrix

    For instance, the main diagonal of the 4×4 matrix above contains the elements a11 = 9, a22 = 11, a33 = 4, a44 = 10. In mathematics, a square matrix is a matrix with the same number of rows and columns. An n -by- n matrix is known as a square matrix of order . Any two square matrices of the same order can be added and multiplied.

  8. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    Determinant. In mathematics, the determinant is a scalar -valued function of the entries of a square matrix. The determinant of a matrix A is commonly denoted det (A), det A, or |A|. Its value characterizes some properties of the matrix and the linear map represented, on a given basis, by the matrix. In particular, the determinant is nonzero if ...

  9. Cramer's theorem (algebraic curves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_theorem_(algebraic...

    In algebraic geometry, Cramer's theorem on algebraic curves gives the necessary and sufficient number of points in the real plane falling on an algebraic curve to uniquely determine the curve in non- degenerate cases. This number is. where n is the degree of the curve. The theorem is due to Gabriel Cramer, who published it in 1750.
