Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a system of equations with very large coefficients, determine if an iterative method like Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel would be most appropriate, and justify your choice.
💡 Hint: Consider the matrix properties—diagonal dominance is key.
Design an experiment where you compare the convergence rate of the Jacobi Method vs. Gauss-Seidel on similar linear systems. Collect data on iterations and errors.
💡 Hint: Focus on one system and track it over several iterations.
