In Section 6.2, we explore the use of matrices to solve systems of linear equations, including challenging scenarios like a 100x100 system. A matrix is defined as an organized collection of numbers in rows and columns, allowing us to focus on the coefficients of our variables rather than the variables themselves. This method simplifies operations and enhances our ability to tackle complex linear problem-solving efficiently.

SECTION 6.2 SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS: MATRICES
Solving Systems Using Matrices 3 x 3 Systems are difficult enough. What if you had a system of 100 equations and 100 unknowns?!!!
What is a matrix? A matrix is a collection of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Matrices will allow us to just work the operations on the coefficients of our variables and temporarily dispense with the variables.
