SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the mathematical problem involving a non-singular matrix A and a vector b, where the goal is to demonstrate that if Ax = b, then A(x + δx) = b + δb. The user successfully completed the first part of the problem using the definition of non-singularity but encountered difficulties with the second part, specifically regarding the application of linearity and backward stability concepts. Clarification on these mathematical principles is sought to resolve the confusion.
