The mathematical principles of the classical iterative method of solving linear simultaneous equations are discussed. Basic electrical circuits for setting up an analog of the mathematical relations are given, and a commercial model of a 12-equation computer is briefly described. The results of solving a number of problems on the computer are given to illustrate its accuracy and speed of operation. It is found that solving sets of 12 equations requires only 1/4 to 1/7 the time required by conventional methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
