Modeling Linear Systems
Linear systems are fundamental in engineering because many real-world problems can be described using linear equations. In engineering fields such as electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering, you often encounter situations where you need to model relationships between variables—such as voltages and currents in circuits, or forces in trusses—using linear equations. For example, analyzing an electrical circuit with resistors and voltage sources leads to a set of linear equations based on Kirchhoff's laws. Solving these equations allows you to determine unknown quantities like currents or voltages at different points in the system.
123456789101112import numpy as np # Representing the system: # 2x + 3y = 8 # 5x - y = 7 A = np.array([[2, 3], [5, -1]]) b = np.array([8, 7]) solution = np.linalg.solve(A, b) print("Solution (x, y):", solution)
To solve a system of linear equations, you represent the coefficients as a matrix and the constants as a vector. In the electrical circuit example, suppose you have two unknown currents, x and y, and two equations derived from Kirchhoff's laws. Using numpy, you place the coefficients in a two-dimensional array and the constants in a one-dimensional array. The numpy.linalg.solve function finds the values of the unknowns that satisfy both equations. This approach is efficient and reliable for systems where the number of equations matches the number of unknowns.
