Abstract
Several methods to solve sets of nonlinear equations are discussed. Then a modification of dialytic elimination is described, and two methods for obtaining new linearly independent equations are presented. Finally, one of the methods is applied to three quadratics and is shown to yield all of the solutions, without any extraneous roots.
