[TI-M] Re: Matrices for simultaneous equations
I would like to see this. The program I wrote used two lines divided
equally and the lines index about their mid points 90 degrees to intersect
for the center of a circle. And the distance from one of the outer points to
the center for the radius.
Using a matrix would be more elegant. I have used matrix to solve cubic
splines given the slops.
Thanks.
