3.4    Linear Systems of Equations

Electrical engineering uses linear systems of equations to calculate mesh currents and node voltages in networks. Structural analysis also uses linear systems of equations for the calculation of member forces in trusses. Thus, solving systems of linear equations with n unknowns is an important and indispensable tool in engineering. The NumPy function solve() enables you to solve systems of equations with real and complex coefficients as easily and without much effort as, for example, using the MATLAB program.

3.4.1    Systems of Equations with Real Coefficients

A linear system of equations can generally be represented as a matrix product of coefficient matrix (system matrix) a11 to amn and solution vector ...
