Linear Systems of Algebraic Equations

This page presents some topics from Linear Algebra needed for construction of solutions to systems of linear algebraic equations and some applications. We use matrices and vectors as essential elements in obtaining and expressing the solutions.

Applications

• into \(N\) subintervals,
• the approximation given by the Riemann sum approximation.

sage: f1(x) = x^2
sage: f2(x) = 5-x^2
sage: f = Piecewise([[(0,1),f1],[(1,2),f2]])
sage: f.trapezoid(4)
Piecewise defined function with 4 parts, [[(0, 1/2), 1/2*x],
[(1/2, 1), 9/2*x - 2], [(1, 3/2), 1/2*x + 2],
[(3/2, 2), -7/2*x + 8]]
sage: f.riemann_sum_integral_approximation(6,mode="right")
19/6
sage: f.integral()
Piecewise defined function with 2 parts,
[[(0, 1), x |--> 1/3*x^3], [(1, 2), x |--> -1/3*x^3 + 5*x - 13/3]]
