Description
Systems of linear equations arise frequently in engineering systems analysis, and methods of solving these systems are an increasing area of research required to improve speed, fault tolerance, and scalability. This book presents new research in the area of solving linear equations. Readers will find that instead of "parallelizing" the usual algorithms, the authors have developed new ones.
