Implicit Definition and 520 Threads

When solving differential equations numerically with finite difference methods, textbooks get to the point of solving: A psi_(n+1) = B psi_n (with A, B some matrices, typically complex conjugate of each other) and advise on using LU decomposition to do so. My question is, why not...

Hi, this is a very basic question. I want to know why are implicit functions used, when the purpose of functions is to calculate the independent variable. For example, why would someone write ay + bx + c = 0 as a "straight line function" (sorry for the possible abuse of language, I don't...
