Ch3 Numerical Methods Lecture Notes Part One

This document contains lecture notes on numerically solving systems of linear equations using matrices and Cramer's rule. It includes examples of using each method to solve 2x2 and 3x3 systems of linear equations. The key steps of using matrices are: 1) write the equations in matrix form, 2) take the inverse of the coefficient matrix, 3) multiply to solve for variables. The key steps when using Cramer's rule are: 1) write the equations in matrix form, 2) use determinants of the coefficient matrix and matrices with one column replaced to solve for each variable.

1. Write the equations in the form
a x+b y=c
a x+b y= c
2. Write the matrix equations corresponding to these equations,
a b
× =

3. Determine the inverse matrix of

Multiply each side of × = by the inverse of matrix.
