Because linear equations are so much easier to solve than nonlinear ones, much research across a range of disciplines is devoted to finding linear approximations of nonlinear phenomena.

Capture relationships between data sets by graphing linear equations in Microsoft Excel 2007. Linear equations allow you to predict values within your data set and view the overall trend.

Two new nonlinear iterative methods named by the implicit-explicit quasi-Newton (IEQN) method and the derivative free implicit-explicit quasi-Newton (DFIEQN) method are introduced, in which the ...

The Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) method is an unconditionally convergent iteration method for solving large sparse non-Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations. By making ...
