I need to write a program utilizing LU decomposition of a matrix in Java without using any linear algebra libraries so I was wondering if anyone can give me some pseudo-code or a link or something. I know you're supposed to post your attempt, but I literally have no idea what I'm doing. This is way past my capabilities. I'm horrible in linear algebra. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wrong section mate. :-\
 
Well it's actually for my calc 3 class and I thought someone over here might have more knowledge on the subject.
 
Well okay.

When you say you can't use linear algebra what do you mean?
LU decomposition is a linear algebra problem and there are algorithms for finding the matrices on wiki. :-$
 
This looks helpful.

Thank you, Electrician
 
Oh I'm dumb. I meant to say linear algebra libraries/packages.

Sorry.
