Methods for Solving Equations

Two Main Categories

1. Direct Methods
   • Gauss Elimination Method
   • Gauss-Jordan Method
   • Matrix Inversion Method
   • Partition Method
2. Indirect Methods
   • Jacobi Method
   • Gauss-Seidel Method
   • Other Intrusive Methods

Gauss Elimination Method

• Purpose: To solve equations directly
• Application: Convert system of equations into upper triangular form
• Steps:
  1. Convert matrix to upper triangular form by making lower elements zero
  2. Solve the resulting system

Gauss-Jordan Method

• Difference from Gauss Elimination: Converts matrix to diagonal form instead of upper triangular
• Steps:
  1. Make off-diagonal elements zero to convert to diagonal matrix
  2. Solve the resulting system

Comparison: Gauss Elimination vs. Gauss-Jordan

• Gauss Elimination: Converts to upper triangular matrix
• Gauss-Jordan: Converts to diagonal matrix
• Outcome: Both methods yield the same solution

Practical Application

• Example Problems: Illustrative problems shown using both methods to highlight differences
• Additional Resources:
  • Videos on various numerical methods (e.g., Newton-Raphson, Bisection, Regula Falsi, Secant, Iterative, Interpolation, Numerical Integration, Numerical Differentiation)
  • Matrix Theory: Recommended topic for better understanding

Next Steps: Indirect Methods

• Upcoming Topics:
  • Jacobi Method
  • Gauss-Seidel Method
