CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Linear Systems
In this chapter, we discuss how to solve linear systems with real coefficients using a method known as Gaussian algorithm. Later on, we will also use this method to solve other questions; at the same time, we will interpret linear systems as special cases of a much deeper theory.
1.1 LINEAR SYSTEMS: FIRST EXAMPLES
A linear equation is an equation where the unknowns appear with degree 1, that is an equation of the form:
(1.1)
where and b are assigned numbers and are the unknowns. The numbers are called coefficients of the linear equation, b is called known term. If the equation is said to be homogeneous. A solution of the equation (1.1) is a n-tuple of numbers that gives an equality when put in place of the unknowns. For example is a solution of the equation because .
A linear system of m equations in n unknowns is a set of m linear equations in n unknowns that must be simultaneously satisfied:
