These exercises are designed to get you started on using computers to solve systems of linear equations. The systems of equations we’ll be using come from resistor networks typical of what you might see in a second-semester physics course, but the same techniques can be used for any system of linear equations regardless of their source.
We can of course solve these systems of equations using algebra, but for larger systems of equations it’s a lot easier to use a computer.
