This system has the exact solution of x 1 = 10.00 and x 2 = 1.000, but when the elimination algorithm and backwards substitution are performed using four-digit arithmetic, the small value of a 11 causes small round-off errors to be propagated. The algorithm without pivoting yields the approximation of x 1 ≈ 9873.3 and x 2 ≈ 4.
The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations .

However, it is not possible to define an inverse for an arbitrary substitution. For example, { x ↦ 2, y ↦ 3+4 } is a ground substitution, { x ↦ x 1, y ↦ y 2 +4 } is non-ground and non-flat, but linear, { x ↦ y 2, y ↦ y 2 +4 } is non-linear and non-flat, { x ↦ y 2, y ↦ y 2} is flat, but non-linear, { x ↦ x 1, y ↦ y 2} is both ...
Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:
The substitution rule states that for any φ and any term t, one can conclude φ[t/x] from φ provided that no free variable of t becomes bound during the substitution process. (If some free variable of t becomes bound, then to substitute t for x it is first necessary to change the bound variables of φ to differ from the free variables of t .)
Animation of Gaussian elimination. Red row eliminates the following rows, green rows change their order. In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of a sequence of row-wise operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients.
Lambda calculus is Turing complete, that is, it is a universal model of computation that can be used to simulate any Turing machine. [3] Its namesake, the Greek letter lambda (λ), is used in lambda expressions and lambda terms to denote binding a variable in a function.
