Online tools for Gaussian elimination / LU decomposition ?

AI Thread Summary
Online tools for solving systems of equations using Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition are sought after, with users expressing difficulty in finding effective resources. Suggestions include using MATLAB or Python scripts with libraries like NumPy and SciPy for computational tasks. For online solutions, SageMath and Wolfram Alpha are recommended, although familiarity with their functions is necessary. Additionally, users are looking for detailed explanations of Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition methods. Overall, the discussion highlights a need for accessible tools and resources for these mathematical techniques.

I can not find any useful online tool that solves you a system of equations using Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition. So just a system like:

-3X+4X+9X+4x=-2
9X+2X+1X-5X=2

etc. Just about 4 lines.

several lines. So basically an online tool where you can just plug in the -3,4,9,4,-2 etc and it solves it for you. Same with the LU decomposition for systems like this one.

And, does somebody know of a website where Gaussian elimination and LU explained in detail ? I know how to do Gaussian elimination, but I'm used to do it in a different way. Solve the equations for whatever, but I'm talking about just taking the numbers, put them in a matrix and then solve it. I'm not quite sure how that works. LU decomposition is tricky too, imo. Just can't find anything that's useful. I would appreciate any help!
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
or a python script (with numpy and scipy)...

...or, if you want something on-line, try http://www.sagemath.org/" ...again, though, you would need to know what functions to call, etc...

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
