  2. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    Thus solving a polynomial system over a number field is reduced to solving another system over the rational numbers. For example, if a system contains 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} , a system over the rational numbers is obtained by adding the equation r 2 2 – 2 = 0 and replacing 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} by r 2 in the other equations.

  3. Substitution (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_(logic)

    Where ψ and φ represent formulas of propositional logic, ψ is a substitution instance of φ if and only if ψ may be obtained from φ by substituting formulas for propositional variables in φ, replacing each occurrence of the same variable by an occurrence of the same formula. For example: ψ: (R → S) & (T → S) is a substitution ...

  4. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    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:

  5. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    Separation of variables may be possible in some coordinate systems but not others, [2] and which coordinate systems allow for separation depends on the symmetry properties of the equation. [3] Below is an outline of an argument demonstrating the applicability of the method to certain linear equations, although the precise method may differ in ...

  6. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    An example of solving a system of linear equations is by using the elimination method: ... Another way of solving the same system of linear equations is by substitution.

  7. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    Once y is also eliminated from the third row, the result is a system of linear equations in triangular form, and so the first part of the algorithm is complete. From a computational point of view, it is faster to solve the variables in reverse order, a process known as back-substitution. One sees the solution is z = −1, y = 3, and x = 2. So ...

  8. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    A linear system in three variables determines a collection of planes. The intersection point is the solution. 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,

  9. Successive over-relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_over-relaxation

    It was devised simultaneously by David M. Young Jr. and by Stanley P. Frankel in 1950 for the purpose of automatically solving linear systems on digital computers. Over-relaxation methods had been used before the work of Young and Frankel. An example is the method of Lewis Fry Richardson, and the methods developed by R. V. Southwell.
