Abstract
The solution of linear algebraic systems lies at the heart of most calculations in scientific computing. Here we describe some of the most populat methods that are applied to systems of general form. For a more complete presentation we refer the reader to the literature that we will quote throughout this Chapter. Special techniques for systems arising from the discretization of partial differential equations are discussed in this book for each specific situation.
